Scientists Viktor Gruev, PhD, and Shuming Nie, PhD, recently received a $9 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to establish clinical trials with Philadelphia-based Penn Medicine lung cancer patients.
“There are gaps in the current imaging technologies and contrast agents used in the operating room,” Dr. Gruev said. “This grant is taking a holistic approach, bringing a team together that can address the technology and also work with and receive honest feedback from surgeons.”
At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
