Our aim is to advance knowledge of the biology of breast cancer and thereby enhance its prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

The Victorian Breast Cancer Research Consortium Inc. is a consortium formed between eight Melbourne medical research institutes and The Cancer Council Victoria.

It was established in 1997 by the Victorian State Government to conduct world class fundamental breast cancer research.

The Consortium operates as an 'institute without walls' with its research groups located in host research institutes where they can benefit from infrastructure support and intellectual collaboration.
