###### Principal Investigator:

2004-2005 Bioluminate Probe Pilot Study: The Characterization of Breast
Tissue Using Photonic and Electrical Impedence Measurements

2002-2007 RIMI Subcontract to SFSU "Quality of Life Among Breast Cancer
Survivors from Diverse Populations"........, 10% effort

The project is designed to increase our knowledge of the impact of
cultural, socioeconomic, and institutional factors on survivorship, and
ultimately to facilitate the development of successful strategies to
increase survival rates, in various minority communities. Other overall
goals for the project are to train undergraduate and graduate students
from SFSU in the research areas of health disparities and breast cancer
survivorship; and to develop long-term collaborative research between
SFSU and the UCSF Comprehensive Cancer Center in these areas.
