Funded by a $150,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health’s National Cancer Institute, a pair of researchers from Missouri S&T and Phelps Health are teaming up to develop a urine test to determine whether a patient may be at increased risk of having breast cancer.
Dr. Honglan Shi, professor of chemistry at S&T, is leading the research project and working with Dr. Casey Burton, director of medical research at Phelps Health and an adjunct professor of chemistry at S&T.
