Agilent Technologies Thought Leader Award Supports Dr. Carolyn Mountford
NMR Spectroscopy Technology Aiding in Cancer Research
Dr. Mountford is a professor of radiology at The University of Newcastle Australia School of Health Sciences, and Harvard Medical School. She is the director of Newcastle’s Magnetic Resonance Centre for Clinical Research and director of the Center for Clinical Spectroscopy at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
The award will support Dr. Mountford and her team at the University of Newcastle in their pioneering research on novel in vivo NMR techniques that may help identify breast cancer in high-risk women. Preliminary data suggest that NMR may detect early changes in breast tissue that reflect rapid tumor growth. Moreover, NMR may be used to analyze primary breast tumors to determine if the cancer cells have spread to the lymph nodes, preventing unnecessary surgery.
“NMR spectroscopy is a highly accurate and precise tool for analyzing human tissue,” said Dr. Mountford. “This technology could help pathologists diagnose breast cancer more quickly and accurately, enable surgeons to make more informed decisions and, ultimately, improve the quality of cancer care for patients.”
