The National Institutes of Health (National Cancer Institute), has awarded Professor Mia K. Markey a five-year $3.1 million grant. The grant will fund Dr. Markey’s work toward developing 3D modeling technologies to help breast cancer survivors visualize potential reconstructive surgery options. This type of technology will give breast cancer survivors a better understanding of the probable changes to their appearance following breast reconstruction and enable them to make individualized decisions regarding their own particular recovery strategies. Visit Markey’s Biomedical Informatics Lab website for more information on her research.
