John C. Lincoln Health Network has opened a breast-health and research center near its Deer Valley Hospital. The new 9,000-square-foot center will offer clinical care as well as research under an agreement with Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen). The center will include a tumor bio-repository. TGen will use genomic and proteomic approaches to study the tumor tissues to investigate ways to diagnose and treat breast cancer. Breast cancer affects one in every eight American women.

John Laub is the Chairman of the Phoenix CEO-CFO Group.
