Prof. Zhaohua Irene Tang has been awarded a $412,415 National Institutes of Health grant to study cancer and other disease prevention and expand undergraduate research opportunities at CMC and the W.M. Keck Science Department.

The NIH grant comes through the Academic Research Enhancement Award program, which is offered to institutions that do not traditionally receive NIH funds. The goal is to increase hands-on research opportunities and enhance the research culture on campus.

Over the three-year grant cycle, Tang’s research laboratory will create multiyear research experiences for 12-15 students interested in public health and health-related fields. A biology professor in the Keck Science Department, Tang mentors four to six research students a year; more than 100 have worked in her lab since 2001.
