CaNCURE awarded $1.15M!
Northeastern University Professor Srinivas Sridhar has received a $1.15 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to implement a training program in cancer nanomedicine. The centerpiece of the new program, which is called “CaNCURE: Cancer Nanomedicine Co-ops for Undergraduate Research Experiences,” is a unique partnership between Northeastern and the Initiative to Eliminate Cancer Disparities at the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center. Over the next five years, a total of 75 undergraduate students will receive training to study and conduct research in the laboratories of 35 leading scientists at Northeastern and DF/HCC. These six-month co-op experiences, facilitated through Northeastern’s co-op office, will provide students in majors ranging from biomedical physics to chemical engineering with hands-on research experience and one-on-one mentoring in cancer nanomedicine at these partner institutions.
