"Lives saved, lives extended and quality of life improved." Chancellor John Carney provides a few fascinating examples of the contributions researchers at Missouri University of Science & Technology have developed to advance Missouri’s health. Professor Emeritus Delbert Day treats tumors with bioactive glass; the use of fluorescent cell-penetrating quantum dots makes cells easily readable; and, with a patient’s personal contribution, Curators’ Teaching Professor Yinfa Ma can detect cancer with the use of his P-Scan test.
