UT Arlington researchers receive $1.2 million for cancer research
The Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas has awarded two University of Texas at Arlington bioengineering researchers – Baohong Yuan and Liping Tang – more than $1.2 million to explore better methods of detecting cancer. Yuan, an assistant professor who joined UT Arlington in 2010, this week won a $1 million award that he will use to create a better imaging system to detect cancer in deep tissue – tens of millimeters below the surface of the skin. Tang, a bioengineering professor who work has focused on tissue engineering, won $200,000 that he will use to develop what he
