Richardson, TX--The Lumata group was recently awarded with a High-Risk, High Impact grant of $200,000.00 for 2 years from the Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT). The Lumata group will utilize the highly-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique known as hyperpolarized 13C MRI to non-invasively track and image metabolic biomarkers in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a highly aggressive form of brain cancer. The hyperpolarization technology will enhance the MRI signals of two key amino acids in GBM by 10,000-fold and used it for non-invasive metabolic and diagnostic imaging of this pathology. Furthermore, a UTD cancer imaging facility CPRIT grant led by Dr. Kenneth Hoyt of Bioengineering, was also funded for the purchase of small animal MRI scanner and other cancer-related imaging modalities. It's a great day for UT Dallas! More information about the CPRIT 2018 awards can be found at: http://www.cprit.state.tx.us/news/cprit-surpasses-2-billion-milestone-with-64-new-grants/
