Awards and Honors: May 25, 2007

Pei-Lin Hsiung, PhD, postdoctoral scholar in the Network for Translational Research in Optical Imaging (NTROI), has received the American Cancer Society-Canary Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship, which is awarded to the "best and brightest researchers" who specialize in early detection research. Her winning project is entitled "Development of Peptide Reagents for In Vivo Detection of Dysplasia in the Colon," which focuses on topically-applied reagents that can be used for the screening and the early detection of colon cancer. Dr. Hsiung's research combines the development of disease-targeting peptides with optical imaging and in vivo microscopy, with the goal of rapidly translating bench research into the clinical setting.
