Five Fascinating Approaches to Cancer Science
From tropical plants and 3-D snapshots of worms to tiny particles that light up tumors, here’s a glimpse at some of the fascinating work MSK researchers pursued in 2014 as part of our quest to advance cancer science.
Novel Cancer-Targeting Investigational Nanoparticle Receives FDA IND Approval for First-In-Human Trial
Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center's Nanotechnology Center, along with collaborators at Cornell University and Hybrid Silica Technologies, have received approval for their first Investigational New Drug Application (IND) from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for an ultrasmall silica inorganic nanoparticle platform for targeted molecular imaging of cancer, which may be useful for cancer treatment in the future.
Toward the Next Generation of Medical Imaging
Memorial Sloan Kettering researchers will explore "C dots" for tumor detection and treatment.
