NEWS RELEASE
Rice U. chemist wins $3.2 million National Cancer Institute grant
Rice chemist Han Xiao has won a $3.2 million research project grant from the National Cancer Institute to develop the first tissue-specific epigenetic inhibitor to treat bone metastasis. Xiao and his team aim to modify two epigenetic inhibitor drugs with small-molecule compounds known as bisphosphonates. "I think our drug could be applied not only against breast cancer, but also against prostate and bone cancers more generally," Xiao said. "We think this can have a broad impact."
