Kanzius project receives $ 2.1 million government grant


Research on John Kanzius device to the external radio-wave is a financial support to get by courtesy of the Federal Government.

The National Cancer Institute has awarded a research grant of up to $ 11.6 million to a group of institutions, including Rice University and MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

Be dedicated part of this grant - is up to 2.1 million over five years - killing machine, Kanzius Cancer Research.

"We still have much work to get the (human) trials. Relief Fund, of course," Steven Curley, MD, principal investigator for Kanzius device MD Anderson wrote in an e-mail.

Curley was not available Tuesday for a telephone interview.

The NCI has awarded the grant to promote as part of a national effort to research on innovative cancer. It is the creation of 12 consortia of centers, the new methods to study the treatment of cancer.

One of these groups is the Center for Transportation Oncophysics. It includes Rice University, MD Anderson, University of Texas and Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital.

The group focuses on research projects for liver cancer.

"This new collaboration will help us to sharpen a promising potential treatment, the tumors using radio waves, the gold nanoparticles embedded in them destroying heat," Curley said in a press release that relate to the device Kanzius.

Kanzius, a former Erie radio and television stations and the engineer, who died in February, invented the device in his home in Mill Creek Township and Sanibel, Florida

It has been proven completely kill cancerous tumors in live animals, without apparent side effects.
