Molecular Imaging of Inflammation in Cancer

Funds molecular imaging that shows how inflammation and cancer interact inside a living body, rather than in a dish or a slide.

OpenNational Institutes of HealthUnited States

Almost everything known about inflammation's role in cancer comes from tissue in a dish or on a slide. Both are snapshots of something that is actually a moving interaction. This notice funds watching it move.

The method is molecular imaging — current and emerging — used to gain fundamental insights into cancer inflammation in a living body. The motivation is stated plainly: current research reli…

Development and use of current and emerging molecular imaging methods to gain fundamental insight into cancer inflammation in vivo, using molecular imaging probes for temporal resolution at the molecular and cellular level in preclinical and clinical investigations, through collaboration between cancer basic scientists and imaging scientists. Clinical trials are not allowed.
