UMN awarded multimillion-dollar grant for physics-based approach to cancer

September 1, 2016 — The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded the University of Minnesota an $8.2 million Physical Sciences in Oncology Center (PS-OC) grant over the next five years to develop a cell migration simulator that will predict how cancer cells spread in the body leading to invasion and metastasis.

Professor David Odde will help lead an interdisciplinary team of biomedical engineers, cancer biologists, oncologists, and surgeons on this project.
