June 11, 2008
Anant Madabhushi has been awarded a 2 year Phase 2 grant for $260,000 from the Wallace H. Coulter foundation for his proposal entitled "Automated Detection of Prostate Cancer from Multi-protocol High Resolution MRI". The Phase 2 award was competitive and of the 25 Phase 1 Early Career awardees only 7 were selected for Phase 2 based on progress made in Phase 1, a new grant application, and an oral presentation in front of a review committee in Florida, in early June. Under the Phase 2 project, Dr. Madabhushi will look to commercialize his ongoing research in developing computerized detection methods for prostate cancer using MRI. Clinical collaborators on this project are Dr. John Tomaszewski, Dr. Mark Rosen, and Dr. Mike Feldman from the University of Pennsylvania.
