A joint initiative between Western University and St Joseph’s Health Care London has received $1.3M from Western alumni Marlene McGrath and Graham Porter. The donation will fund an advanced imaging system, which researchers will use to track precisely targeted cancer therapies which replace broader treatments like chemotherapy. In addition to funding the purchase of the system, the donation will also establish the McGrath Porter Fund for Molecular Imaging and Theranostics Trainees to support the recruitment of scholars to work in an associated molecular imaging lab. “This is the next step for treating serious cancers and could have a major impact here and nationally,” McGrath said.
