The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is using nanotechnology to advance both molecular imaging and disease detection.
The group believes the combined use of these nanotechnology-enabled diagnostic tools will markedly impact how cancer is detected, monitored and treated in the future. In addition to developing general oncology applications, the team will particularly focus on prostate cancer. The mission of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is the elimination of cancer as a cause of human suffering and death. The center conducts extensive research projects.
