अलेक्जेंड्रिया, वर्जीनिया – प्रिवेंट कैंसर फाउंडेशन® is pleased to announce new funding for ten scientists who are exploring innovative approaches in artificial intelligence (AI) tools, developing new imaging platforms, addressing health disparities and more. Each scientist has been awarded $100,000 for a two-year period. Areas of focus include brain, breast, cervical, head and neck, kidney, lung, ovarian, prostate, skin (including melanoma), and uterine cancers.

These research projects have been awarded thanks to the generosity of Prevent Cancer Foundation donors. Read on for more on the 2025 research grantees or access more detailed information on their projects.

अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Tamar Berger, M.D, MHA
परियोजना का शीर्षक: Detection of Molecular Biomarkers for Oral Cancer Prevention
नामित पुरस्कार: बहुत बढ़िया खेल जल्दी से हो गया
पद: Instructor in Clinical Investigation
संस्थान: Rockefeller University, New York, N.Y., The Laboratory of Genome Maintenance

The study will look to identify early genetic changes in the cells lining the mouth of patients with Fanconi anemia (FA) before oral cancer develops (FA puts you at increased risk for oral cancer). If successful, the methods could be applied to other groups at increased risk for cancer—such as people who smoke heavily or patients who have had a bone marrow transplant—expanding cancer prevention efforts and saving lives.

अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Eric Brouzes, Ph.D.
परियोजना का शीर्षक: Early Cervical Cancer Detection Using a Single Non-invasive Test
नामित पुरस्कार: Monalita & Fansly’s Spicy Grant for Cancer Prevention
पद: प्रोफ़ेसर
संस्थान: Stony Brook University, New York, N.Y.

Cervical cancer, a highly preventable disease if detected at an early stage, remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in women worldwide. This project will develop a diagnostic test that is portable and handheld, making it inexpensive and usable in low-resource settings. This innovative approach will identify women with precancer and cancer in a single non-invasive test, having the potential to significantly improve cervical cancer screening rates and contribute to eliminating cervical cancer worldwide.

अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Jim Hu, M.D., MPH
परियोजना का शीर्षक: Using Technology to Improve Prostate Cancer Screening Information Quality
नामित पुरस्कार: बहुत बढ़िया खेल जल्दी से हो गया
पद: प्रोफ़ेसर
संस्थान: Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York, N.Y.

This project aims to evaluate the link between the quality of online information about prostate cancer screening and attitudes toward these screenings. By guiding men to reliable resources, this project will enhance early detection efforts and contribute to reducing prostate cancer mortality among high-risk groups.

अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Mohammadhadi Khorrami, Ph.D.
परियोजना का शीर्षक: Novel AI Imaging Tools for Early Detection and Invasion of Lung Cancer
नामित पुरस्कार: मैक्स शूर की स्मृति में शूर फैमिली चैरिटेबल फाउंडेशन
पद: Instructor
संस्थान: Emory University, Atlanta, Ga.

Early detection and accurate classification of lung cancer are crucial for patient outcomes. This project aims to enhance early lung cancer detection and classification using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools, an innovative technique that can directly contribute to cancer mortality.

अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Lydia Pace, M.D., MPH
परियोजना का शीर्षक: Racial Differences in Mammography After the 2024 USPSTF Recommendations
नामित पुरस्कार: कांग्रेस परिवार कार्यक्रम
पद: सह - प्राध्यापक
संस्थान: Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Inc., Boston, Mass.

The project will examine the impact of expanded breast cancer screening guidelines on screening and diagnostic imaging among Black women, who have a greater likelihood of dying from breast cancer compared to the general population and need access to timely diagnosis and treatment.

अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Aditi Sahu, Ph.D.
परियोजना का शीर्षक: Integrating Non-invasive Biomarkers for Early Melanoma Diagnosis
नामित पुरस्कार: विक फ़ैज़ियो मेमोरियल फंड
पद: Senior Research Scientist
संस्थान: मेमोरियल स्लोअन केटरिंग कैंसर सेंटर, न्यूयॉर्क, NY

This project will use a novel, non-invasive approach for biomarker discovery. Biomarkers will be used to develop a statistical risk classifier to identify pigmented lesions with the potential to become melanoma.  This approach aims to enable early and accurate melanoma diagnosis while minimizing unnecessary benign biopsies.

अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Joseph Stember, M.D., Ph.D.
परियोजना का शीर्षक: Inpainting for Early Detection of Brain Tumors on MRI
नामित पुरस्कार: बहुत बढ़िया खेल जल्दी से हो गया
पद: Assistant Attending
संस्थान: मेमोरियल स्लोअन केटरिंग कैंसर सेंटर, न्यूयॉर्क, NY

This project aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to detect small brain tumors early in MRI scans, assisting radiologists in identifying cancer sooner. Early detection of brain cancer improves treatment outcomes and survival rates, ultimately saving lives.

अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Erin Tagai, Ph.D., MPH
परियोजना का शीर्षक: Development of a ChatBot for Patients Receiving Genetic Testing Results
नामित पुरस्कार: बहुत बढ़िया खेल जल्दी से हो गया
पद: सहेयक प्रोफेसर
संस्थान: Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia, Pa.

Genetic testing and cancer risk management can increase cancer prevention for thousands of U.S. adults annually. The proposed study will develop and evaluate a ChatBot intervention to increase patient understanding of genetic testing results, decrease distress for patients and improve patient-provider communication after genetic testing.

अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Chen Wang, Ph.D.
परियोजना का शीर्षक: Early Detection of Renal Cancer by a Novel Imaging Platform
नामित पुरस्कार: बहुत बढ़िया खेल जल्दी से हो गया
पद: पोस्टडॉक्टोरल सदस्य
संस्थान: The Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma, Norman, Okla.

This project proposes to design a novel platform for guiding the biopsy needle when obtaining renal tissue to check for kidney cancer. With different renal tissues/tumors and vessels clearly visualized and automatically differentiated at the needle tip, this proposed imaging platform will improve clinical outcomes for early cancer detection.

अनुदान प्राप्तकर्ता: Grace Wang, Ph.D.
परियोजना का शीर्षक: Formative Research to Support FQHC Implementation of HPV Test Self Sampling
नामित पुरस्कार: Monalita & Fansly’s Spicy Grant for Cancer Prevention
पद: Director of Research
संस्थान: Moses-Weitzman Health System Inc., Middletown, Conn.

This project seeks to develop materials to help federally qualified health centers adopt human papillomavirus (HPV) test self-sampling. Access to HPV test self-sampling can improve cervical cancer screening rates and early detection in medically underserved communities.
