Chemists develop new technique for improving stomach cancer surgery results

Chemistry postdoctoral scholar Livia Eberlin, PhD, and her adviser, chemistry professor Richard Zare, PhD, had an unusual idea for how chemical analysis could improve the odds of detecting cancer cells during surgery to prevent patients from needing to return. The results of collaboration with George Poultsides, MD, were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Read more here.
