 chanisms of cancer development and progression and is an author of numerou
 s book chapters\, abstracts and presentations. He also served as a reviewe
 r for major granting agencies\, such as CIHR.\n\nArmen’s research focuses 
 on utilization of modern translational breast cancer models and technologi
 es to study mechanisms of resistance and sensitivity to novel and existing
  chemotherapeutic agents\, to identify novel biomarkers and drug targets a
 nd to better understand pathogenesis of breast cancer.\n\n\nZoom link: htt
