PULLMAN – “Every man in the world is either going to die from prostate cancer or die with prostate cancer,” says WSU chemistry professor Clifford Berkman.
He is using nearly $2 million in multiple grants earned in the past two years on research to target proteins on prostate-cancer cells. Such knowledge could help doctors find tumors, as well as deliver agents that would attack the cancer cells.
Berkman’s funding has come from such agencies as the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Energy and the state Life Sciences Discovery Fund.
