Jason Zhang, an assistant professor of bioengineering in the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and a member of the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, has received an $800,000 grant from the V Foundation for Cancer Research to investigate how glioblastoma cells become resistant to targeted treatments.
NCI awarded a two-year $422,000 grant to University of Illinois Cancer Center member Andrei Gartel to examine what might influence differences in outcomes for some patients with acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive blood cancer with persistently poor outcomes in which relapse is common.
