With more than $12 million in new funding from the National Institutes of Health, the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania will build on its preclinical research of an emerging form of radiation that provides ultra-fast doses-;of under a second, compared to several minutes with conventional radiation-;and shows promise of greater protection of normal tissue, thereby minimizing toxic effects to the body.
Huntsman Cancer Institute and University of Utah Health welcome Amit Maity, MD, PhD. Maity will serve as professor and chair of the department of radiation oncology for the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine at University of Utah.
