A Training Program in Breast Cancer Research Using NMR Techniques
Abstract
This is an extended 5th year of a training program. This program has supported four predoctoral students. One MD/PhD student suffered medical problem and his PhD thesis work has been delayed. The PI has filed a second extension of this grant in order to continue supporting the student and the research. All the trainees have continued to learn the theory and instrumentation of MRI. The trainees have attended the weekly seminars in the Cancer Center and also attended a special NMR seminar series in the Department of Radiology. They are also actively involved in one of the four ongoing research projects: (1) NMR studies of phosphorus metabolites of breast cancer cells using an improved cell perfusion system (2) Completion of a breast cancer image database for computed-aided-diagnosis (CAD) Research (3) A tumor-targeted nanodelivery system to improve early MRI detection of cancer (4) MRI and histological correlations of cortical brain volumes in APP/PSI mice. One paper has been submitted to Molecular imaging and it has been accepted for publication. Five abstracts have been presented in the national and international meetings. The PI has submitted two grant applications and he has received two new grants.
