Dr John Stingl runs the Mammary Stem Cell Laboratory at our Cambridge Research Institute. His team is studying stem cells that fuel the growth of breast cancer. Understanding these elusive cells will lead to more effective treatments for this disease in the future.

John Stingl's research focuses on identifying stem and progenitor cells in both the human and mouse mammary glands because these cells have been suggested as initial targets for malignant transformation.
