National Science Foundation grant funds UTA electrical engineer’s bladder cancer detection device
UT Arlington electrical engineering, bioengineering, UT Southwestern collaborate on low-cost solutionA multi-institutional research team has received a $480,000 National Science Foundation grant to build an inexpensive device that uses nanotechnology and a simple urine test to detect the most miniscule amount of bladder cancer cells in a patient. UT Arlington’s Samir Iqbal, an electrical engineering associate professor, has teamed with Young-tae Kim, an associate professor in bioengineering; and Yair Lotan, who is a chaired professor in urology at UT Southwestern Medical Center, to
