Breanne Burgess conducts cancer biology research focused on the molecular mechanisms driving childhood and nerve-related tumors. Recent work examines how certain regulatory proteins (such as the transcriptional coactivator TAZ) contribute to the development of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a soft-tissue cancer, and investigates the immune environment surrounding nerve sheath tumors linked to neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).

Publication activity was sparse through the late 2010s and rose sharply in 2023 and 2024, indicating a recent surge in output.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
