A Grant of 1.5 Million Euro will Enable the Development of Imaging for the Early Detection of Cancer and Arteriosclerosis Chemist Dr. Galia Blum has won a grant of 1.5 million Euro from the European Union to conduct a study with the purpose of developing high-resolution molecular CT imaging, which does not currently exist. Such imaging would enable the early detection of cancer and arteriosclerosis, reporting the diseases’ location, their severity, and the effectiveness of treatment. The grant was awarded to Dr. Blum by the European Union in the framework of the European Research Council whose purpose is to fund groundbreaking research. “Without the grant, it would not be possible to conduct this important study,” said Blum. “Research is a very expensive thing. The sums required are large and difficult to obtain. The grant, which will be spread over five years, will finance all the costs of operating a laboratory at the Hebrew University, and includes manpower, equipment, and materials. The cost of the required equipment alone reaches 400 thousand Euro.”
