Bringing ocean models to life: Seeing why ice melts in Antarctica

This research highlight was originally published in NCI's 2021-2022 Annual Report. Scientists are developing increasingly realistic models to better understand what is driving the melting of ice in Antarctica. Using these models, researchers can better predict the Antarctic contribution to global...

Understanding atomic interactions to inform cancer therapy development

This research highlight was originally published in NCI's 2021-2022 Annual Report. Many promising nanomaterials appear to have qualities that could make them well-suited for use in anti-cancer therapies. The successful development of a candidate therapy can often be hampered, however, by a lack of...
