A Training Program in Breast Cancer Research Using NMR Techniques

Abstract

In the first year, this program has supported two graduate students (one from EE Department and one from Biochemistry Department) and a postdoctoral fellow (Radiology Department). They have been introduced to the Biomedical NMR Laboratory and the Howard University Cancer Center. The trainees learned the theory and instrumentation of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance imaging and spectroscopy. The students have also rotated through the clinical services in the hospital to learn the mammography procedures. They have participated in the seminar series in the Cancer Center and throughout the campus. The trainees have been introduced the ongoing research projects in the lab. They all have started their research projects with the PI. Based on the preliminary findings, two papers and two posters have been presented in the University Research Forums and in the National Scientific Meetings. From these initial research results and contacts with scientists at Georgetown University, a collaborative partnership grant has been developed, submitted and funded by USAMRMC.
