Advanced technology development projects that
may hold the key to detecting cancer while it affects only a few cells are
getting underway at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon
Valley.
NASA has selected seven researchers to receive
grants totaling approximately $11 million over three years to develop new
biomedical technologies to detect, diagnose and treat disease inside the
human body.
Today, April 13, 2000, NASA Administrator Daniel
S. Goldin and National Cancer Institute (NCI) Director Dr. Richard Klausner
signed a Memorandum of Understanding to develop new biomedical technologies
that can detect, diagnose and treat disease here on Earth and in space.
