Studying Sugars at the Nanoscale
 
Our cells are covered with sugars—the glycocalyx. In cancer cells, Matthew Paszek found glycocalyx factors that can contribute to aggressive cancer.
 
 
Foiling Cancer Aggression—Nontoxic Metals
 
Unlike platinum-based chemotherapy drugs, Justin Wilson hunts for nontoxic metals that not only kill cancer cells but light up when cancer is present.
 
 
Imaging, Tracking Cancer Cell Invasion
 
“Expanding imaging capabilities and the information we have…is going to lead to new discoveries, new ways of diagnosing diseases, and new treatments.”
 
 
Scientists and Patients, In Collaboration
 
Just as seeds need soil to grow, cancer cells need a microenvironment to proliferate. Garrett Beeghly studies this microenvironment—and patients, too.
 
 
Cancer Therapy for Pets—Maybe Humans, Too
 
Kelly Hume searches for better cancer drugs for pets, as she studies the reaction of cells’ response-and-repair processes to chemotherapy drugs.
