Penn Researchers Receive $10 Million NIH Grant to Study Physics of Cancer
A $10 million grant from the National Institutes of Health is supporting the establishment of the Physical Sciences Oncology Center at the University of Pennsylvania, or PSOC@Penn. The center will support researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine, Penn Engineering, and Penn Arts and Sciences. The team will focus on liver cancer while studying how tumors become distinct physical masses and how such changes contribute to the growth of tumors. Investigators from Penn Arts and Sciences are Hepburn Professor of Physics and Astronomy Andrea Liu, Professor of Biology Wei Guo, and Associate Professor of Chemisty Tobias Baumgart.
