Dr. Chan is developing molecular “smart” probes and novel imaging techniques for earlier and improved detection of colorectal cancer.  He will soon be testing this promising technology in clinical trials.  This work has the potential to accelerate the discovery and development process for therapeutic and chemopreventative agents in colorectal cancer.
