Our Group Receives Igniting Research Collaborations Pilot Grant

Dec 2, 2020

Our project titled “Optical imaging of radiation-induced metabolic changes in human breast cancer organotypic tumor slices to predict radiotherapy response." has been selected for receiving a pilot grant through UK’s “Igniting Research Collaborations (IRC)” program. This IRC seed award will support our efforts to gather crucial preliminary data for the successful application of larger grants to the National Institutes of Health and foundations.

Our first peer reviewed journal article has been published!
