Giving Women Hope The Ovarian Cancer Institute at Georgia Tech in Atlanta is producing innovative research that will lead to an early diagnostic tool and more effective treatment therapies. Every year an estimated 21,500 women in the United States are diagnosed with ovarian cancer. This “silent killer” currently has no means of effective early detection. It will cause about 15,500 deaths this year alone. The Ovarian Cancer Institute at Georgia Tech is passionately pursuing scientific breakthroughs that will lead to a reliable screening test for this deadly disease. We are committed to changing the odds against ovarian cancer.
Georgia Tech knows complicated research challenges cannot be solved on our own. By partnering with other major universities and leading medical professionals, our scientists are working to solve this and many other biomedical engineering challenges.
