UNT Chemistry team helping create early cancer detection device

Dr. Francis D'Souza and students in his lab are featured by UNT's Research publication for their work in helping create an early cancer detection device.

"Cancer, if detected and treated in the early stages is no longer a death threat," said Francis D'Souza, a University Distinguished Research Professor in UNT's Department of Chemistry. "However, early detection of several types of cancer is still a challenge, since tumors develop over a period of time without noticeable symptoms. One solution to this problem could be diagnostic tests available to everyone that could be performed at home on a regular basis."
