UT-DRO faculty captures 50% of 2016 AbbVie - CARO Uro-Oncologic Radiation Awards (ACURA)

Congratulations to Tim Craig, Patrick Cheung, Alejandro Berlin and PGY2 resident Rachel Glicksman, as well as their co-investigators and research teams.

In a press release, Dr. Fabio Cury of McGill University and Advisory Group Chair, explained, “The ACURA awards help Canadian radiation oncologists push their science to a higher level and, in many cases, secure more funding from other sources for future research. Clearly, there is still much work to be done in enhancing care and it’s very exciting to see firsthand all of the research submissions.”
