Support Cancer Research

Cancer research is a collaborative effort. Scientists make new discoveries thanks to patients, families, physicians and other researchers.

Financial support is crucial to helping Henry Ford Health uncover potential cures for cancer. Grants from external organizations underwrite much of our research. You can make a difference, too, by providing a gift to further our cancer research work.

Hartman Grant-funded cancer research

This gift enabled investigations in the following research areas:

• Ramandeep Rattan, Ph.D.: Tracking adipocyte derived lipid integration in ovarian cancer cells
• Meser Ali, Ph.D.: Assessments of Extracellular pH of Primary Brain Tumor with BIRDS MRI
