Case Western Reserve researcher, collaborator at University of California-Santa Cruz to study role of nutrients in ovarian cancer cells
Case Western Reserve University scientist Lydia Kisley, the Warren E. Rupp Assistant Professor in physics in the College of Arts and Sciences, and a collaborator from the University of California-Santa Cruz plan to gain a brand-new view inside and around ovarian cancer cells by elongating and enlarging the cell structures on an elastic surface.
Kisley and Laura Sanchez, an associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the USSC, will share a three-year, $1.25 million grant from The Paul G. Allen Frontiers Group, a division of the Allen Institute, for the research.
The scientists plan to use their new method, called Expansion Mass Spectrometry, to study nutrients in and around ovarian cancer cells, an area where Sanchez conducts research. They hope…
