Researchers from the City College of New York (CCNY) and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) have received a $1.36 million grant from the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command Breast Cancer Research Program.
The researchers will evaluate whether near-infrared light can be used to detect and diagnose breast cancer and assess tumor aggressiveness, according to the institutions.
The program also aims to build a breast cancer research program at City College that would draw on fields such as biology, tissue engineering, and medical research.
