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.
