Listed Research Project
PHOTOACOUSTIC MICROSCOPY OF NEOVASCULARIZATION IN RENAL CANCER GROWTH AND THERAPY

Project Narrative-Relevance. The blood supply to tumors is important for their growth and spread throughout the body. The vasculature is an emerging target for anti-tumor therapy. The function of tumor vessels and their interrelationship to tumor molecular signaling pathways regulating these vessels are incompletely understood. This project will use a novel technique to determine tumor neovessel function and tumor cell signaling during progressive growth and under the stress of vascular- or cancer cell targeted therapies. This project will change our understanding of how tumors grow and become therapy resistant.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
