Technology development now allows research into physical underpinnings of growth and spread of cancer. US. National Cancer Institute has awarded $US14.8m to new John Hopkins Engineering Oncology Center for NanoBioTechnology, to research, over five years, how physical sciences play a role in the way cancer spreads, commonly called metastasis.
This may seem like re-inventing old research, but the now availability of high investigative technology to re-examine how and what causes cancer to mutate, to examine closer activity of what makes Cancer tick.
Over the next five years, theoretical physicists, mathematicians, chemists and medical engineers will be involved in the study of cancer.
It will also involve non-traditional approaches to cancer research, by studying the physical laws and principles of cancer, coding, recoding, transfer and translation in cancer, and ways to deconvolution of cancer's complexity.
The new NanoBioTechnology center will draw on John Hopkins researchers with diverse expertise to study the role of physical forces involved in the development and spread of cancer. Acknowledgment medicalnewstoday.com Geoff
