The Center for Innovation and Translation of POC Technologies for Expanded Cancer Care Access (CITEC) is a collaboration of bioengineers, oncologists, and international global health partners that will unite a global community of investigators to develop and effectively disseminate point-of-care technologies to detect and treat cancer. CITEC includes partnerships in Brazil and Mozambique, the Rice 360 Institute for Global Health Technologies, Baylor College of Medicine, and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The Rice University-led collaboration of partners from three continents received a five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to establish a premier research center in the Texas Medical Center to develop affordable, effective point-of-care technologies that advance access to care.
This event is free and open to the public and usually held in Room 280 at the BioScience Research Collaborative (BRC).
