New Research Approaches Explored By Carla Garnett
From body size to pathology standards, from high-tech advances to potential vaccine policy, a recent Women's Health Seminar looked at new ways of looking at cancers affecting women. Its role in diabetes established, obesity is also being examined as a
cancer risk factor. Dr. Rachel Ballard-Barbash, associate director of
NCI's Applied Research Program, discussed
anthropometrics — the study of body
measurements — and how body size and shape may increase
women's chances of getting cancer.
Parking Relief on Horizon for NIH'ers The raft of new construction, renovation and security projects that will eventually claim some 1,700 parking spaces on the Bethesda campus (see July 8 NIH Record) in coming months is planned to be offset, by fall 2004, by two new multi-level parking garages. This anticipated amelioration of an impending parking crunch was announced July 21 at the first meeting of a new trans-NIH parking committee headed by NIH deputy director for intramural research Dr. Michael Gottesman at the behest of NIH director Dr. Elias Zerhouni.M O R E . . . |
