Dr. Evan S. Glazer, assistant professor in the Division of Surgical Oncology and the Department of Surgery in the College of Medicine at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC), has been awarded a $100,000 grant to study a protein’s role in pancreatic cancer progression.
The grant from the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract (SSAT) will be funded for two years, and with support from UTHSC and Methodist University Hospital, will allow Glazer to examine living pancreatic cancer tissue from patients.
