Physical Sciences and Engineering Advances in Life Sciences and Oncology: A WTEC Global Assessment: Science Policy Reports

Editat de Paul Janmey, Daniel Fletcher, Sharon Gerecht, Ross Levine, Parag Mallick, Owen McCarty, Lance Munn, Cynthia Reinhart-King
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 noi 2015
This book presents an Assessment of Physical Sciences and Engineering Advances in Life Sciences and Oncology (APHELION) by a panel of experts. It covers the status and trends of applying physical sciences and engineering principles to oncology research in leading laboratories and organizations in Europe and Asia.
The book elaborates on the six topics identified by the panel that have the greatest potential to advance understanding and treatment of cancer, each covered by a chapter in the book. The study was sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institute of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering at the NIH in the US under a cooperative agreement with the World Technology Evaluation Center (WTEC).
