The City College of New York Biomedical Engineering Department received a $750,000 grant from the National Cancer Institute to conduct cancer research and training activities in partnership with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The grant will fund two pilot projects: one to understand the role of permeability of blood vessels in the metastasis of cancers and develop possible strategies for preventing metastases; the other to determine whether electrical stimulation of tumors can help chemotherapy drugs target malignant cells.
