Radiation therapy is one of the most widely used cancer treatments, but a drawback of the procedure is that it can cause collateral damage to healthy tissue in proximity to cancerous growths. Identifying organs at risk via CT scans is a difficult and labor-intensive process, but UCI computer scientists and researchers from other institutions have […]
The National Institutes of Health has awarded UCI engineering researchers a four-year, $1.9 million grant for the development of a noninvasive biophotonics technology platform. The proposed new optical tool will enable scientists to investigate the role of mechanical forces in normal-tissue disease development, and it has applications for high-throughput drug screening. The collaborative, interdisciplinary project […]

UCI-led study reveals crucial mechanisms contributing to the disease
UCI stem cell scientist Brian Cummings was awarded a $4.8 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the state’s stem cell agency. This grant will support the only CIRM-funded program addressing traumatic brain injury in California. TBIs are a leading cause of death & disability worldwide, and two million Americans annually (230,000 Californians) […]
