KENTUCKY: University of Kentucky Receives Renewed $11.4M COBRE Grant to Further Cancer Research
The University of Kentucky’s Center for Cancer and Metabolism (CCM) will continue its critical mission to research the metabolism of cancer with a renewed Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) grant award from the National Institutes of General Medical Sciences, part of the National Institutes of Health. The prestigious grant — totaling $11.4 million — will continue to fund UK’s CCM over the next five years.
“The field of cancer research has never been more exciting,” UK Markey Cancer Center Director Mark Evers said. “Nearly every week, there are new discoveries that are saving lives. This funding will allow us to translate more of these findings into potential new therapies for cancer patients from Kentucky and beyond.”
The scientific discoveries achieved through the Center for Cancer and Metabolism will continue to help the UK Markey Cancer Center in its mission to “Conquer Cancer in the Commonwealth.”
