Public Release: 26-Oct-2009
New center to open up new directions in cancer research Northwestern University has been awarded a $13.6 million five-year grant from the National Cancer Institute to establish an interdisciplinary research center for the study of genes and their role in cancer. The Physical Sciences-Oncology Center brings together physical scientists and cancer biologists to use nontraditional, physical sciences-based approaches to understand and control cancer. A better understanding of the mechanisms could lead to better diagnostics and therapeutics, and open up new directions for research.
