A TCU assistant professor and researcher just earned the university's first-ever Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) award for his research and project on early breast cancer detection and screening.
The $250,000 grant is awarded to Austin Graybeal Ph.D. ’21, assistant professor of kinesiology in Harris College, to continue developing a mobile 3D imaging technology, breast cancer risk image-generated health tool (BRIGHT), to help predict breast density and encourage more people to get mammograms for early breast cancer detection.
The goal? To increase access, especially in rural Texas communities, for early risk-detection technology via a mobile application on your phone.
