Case Western Reserve University and the National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR) in Bethesda, MD, said they plan to establish a new NFCR Center for Molecular Imaging at the university's Cleveland campus.
The center will focus on assisting cancer scientists in identifying specific genes that are suited for molecular imaging and diagnosis improvement. It is being funded by a five-year grant from the NFCR, and will be led by James P. Basilion, Ph.D., associate professor of radiology and biomedical engineering at Case.
The Case center joins other NFCR Centers established at Oxford; Yale; University of Alabama-Birmingham; University of California, Berkeley; Dana-Farber Cancer Center; University of Arizona; Freie Universität Berlin; and the Institute of Medicinal Biotechnology in Beijing to form an international collaborative network of top researchers.
