LSDF proudly announces awardees for the 2009 Program grant competition. The funded studies will utilize diverse approaches to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other major diseases. The programs will: 1. use powerful computational tools to create better models of complex biological systems and identify molecular pathways that can be targeted to develop safer and more effective drugs and diagnostic tests; 2. combine ultrasound technologies with cutting-edge molecular medicine approaches to more accurately image tumors and enhance drug delivery to diseased tissues; and 3. establish a multi-institutional system for collecting and distributing the biological specimens required to advance cancer research, diagnosis, and therapy. Funding for these awards comes from Washington's allocation of bonus payments under the Master Tobacco Settlement.
Stephen FriendLSDF 2009 Program grant awards are subject to finalization of LSDF's budget for 2010 and the terms and conditions of a grant agreement negotiated between the recipient institutions and LSDF.
