Anne-lise Borresen-dale PhD, MD

Dr. Anne-Lise Borresen-Dale, MD, PhD is Professor Emerita at the University of Oslo and previous head of the Department of Cancer Genetics, Oslo University Hospital Radiumhospitalet. She is among the leading geneticists in research on the molecular biology of breast cancer, and her group was among the pioneers in expression profiling of breast carcinomas in collabora­tion with groups at Stanford, demonstrating that breast cancer can be divided into distinct sub-groups with differences in molecular profiles and in overall and relapse-free survival. Her achievements are seminal for understanding breast cancer evolution and have had an enormous impact on our view of the complexity of breast cancer. She is the author of more than 500 published scientific papers, books chapters, and invited reviews.
