Past Funding
Title : Early breast cancer detection and therapy monitoring by new methods of MR imaging
Project Number: CA90398(PI: Ruth Keri) Dates 06/01/2003 - 05/31/2005
Source: NIH/NCI
Goals of the project: develop nano-scale liposomal contrast agents for early detection of tumors by passive targeting.
Title : Lipid microtubule-mediated drug delivery for the treatment of spinal cord injury
Project Number: (PI: Bellamkonda) Dates 09/01/2003 - 06/30/2004
Source: Coulter translational/clinical research seed grant
Goals of the project: increase axonal regeneration and enhance functional recovery following spinal cord injury via a localized and controlled release of reagents that block the production of axon growth inhibitory proteins.
