Cancer Find Up for Year’s Biggest Biomedical Advance in a Different ‘March Madness’
For the third year in a row, a discovery from the University of Virginia School of Medicine has been selected as one of the year’s most significant biomedical discoveries. The finding – identifying the gene responsible for one of the deadliest cancers – is among 64 contenders fighting it out to win the public’s votes in an online bracket tournament.
Voting opens today for “STAT Madness,” which is like the scientific version of the NCAA basketball tournament. The annual competition is sponsored by the STAT health news site to identify the year’s “best biomedical innovation,” and you can vote by clicking here. The first round is open through Sunday.
