NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY

The Spring Laboratory at Northeastern University bridges biophysics, biomedical optics and cancer biology to selectively target microscopic deposits of tumor cells left behind by standard therapies that limit our ability to cure many malignancies. Optical spectroscopic imaging and photophysics are applied to visualize and mop up this residual disease. The ultimate goal of the program is to reduce cancer recurrence and mortality by establishing new approaches for personalized medicine that address tumor heterogeneity, drug-resistance and molecular mechanisms of treatment escape... We also want to provide some resources for allies looking to financially support anti-racist organizations and relief funds. This spreadsheet also has tabs with resources to educate yourself on racism and police brutality in the U.S., petitions to sign, and other ways to take action. These lists are by no means exhaustive, but hopefully provide a place to start. A couple highlighted places to donate to are..
