UF Health Cancer Center Awards American Cancer Society Pilot Grants

The University of Florida Health Cancer Center has awarded the 2023 American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant Pilot Projects, as part of its efforts to support early-stage investigators in cancer-related research studies. These projects, which are supported by Grant #21-139-01-IRG from the American Cancer Society, aim to address one of six research priorities: etiology, obesity/healthy eating and active living, screening and diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and health equity across the cancer continuum.

The center has selected five researchers to receive the grants: Megan Stanifer, Ph.D., John Ligon, M.D., Hyung-Suk Yoon, Ph.D., along with UF Innovate inventors, Michalina Janiszewska, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the department of molecular medicine at The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology, and William Donelan, Ph.D., a research assistant scientist in the department of urology in the UF College of Medicine.
