Very many/many ctrs.: The exact number will always be hard to say, but the number is a very large one. There are several research centers in th U.S., like memorial sloan kettering, national institutes of health, and the mayo clinic. In these centers are many subcenters, including those devoted to cancer research, with breast cancer being a prime example. The world has similar centers in many developed countries.

Many!: That's a difficult answer to quantify, but rest assured, it is many! in the us, since it is the most common cancer in women, funding and research for this disease is available, through federal grants, non-profit organizations, private companies, and grateful donors. We are making strides toward curing breast cancer every day!

No exact figure: Many physicians treat a do clinical research for effective treatment for bc. The ultimate solution to bc will almost certainly come from work at a more basic level - much of which is keyed to basic biology and not focused on bc alone. So the investigators studying all aspects of bc probably number over 100,000 world wide.
