Moffitt Cancer Center awarded $8.95 million research grant
Tampa, Florida-based H.Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute has been awarded a research grant for $8.95 million from the National Cancer Institute. The five-year grant will focus on research to disrupt the pathways that help feed cancer cells. The goal of the research is to develop drugs that stop the growth of cancer by preventing tumor cell division and new blood vessels that fuel cancer cell growth. Researchers involved with the project hope it will lead to drugs to treat all types of cancer, including lung cancer.
