A Training Program in Breast Cancer Research Using NMR Techniques
Abstract
In the third year, this program has supported three graduate students (one from Electrical Engineering Department, one from Biochemistry Department, and one medical student) and two postdoctoral fellows (Radiology Department). The new medical student has been introduced to the Biomedical NMR Laboratory and the Howard University Cancer Center. The trainees have continued to learn the theory and instrumentation of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. The trainees have rotated through the mammography service in the Department of Radiology in the hospital to learn the mammography procedures. Besides attending weekly seminars in the Cancer Center, the trainees also have attended a special seminar series on breast imaging sponsored by this grant and the Department of Electrical Engineering. Each trainee has actively participated in one of the two research projects. Based on the experimental findings, two papers were published. Two posters have been presented in the national scientific meetings. Two graduate student trainees have received their MD or PhD degree. One graduate student received a postdoctoral award from the Army Medical Command and she will continue working as a postdoc in the Cancer Center. The PI has received a RSNA medical student departmental grant.
