A multidisciplinary team of experts in lung cancer screening and implementation science from the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, was awarded a $2.5 million grant from the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation, an independent charitable organization, to spearhead a new initiative aimed at reducing disparities in lung cancer screening across Los Angeles County.
UCLA Health has established the Department of Nuclear Medicine and Theranostics—the first of its kind in the United States. The new department will integrate advanced imaging and therapy, accelerate scientific discovery, and advance precision health at UCLA Health.
