  <body><![CDATA[<p>BME researcher Anant Madabhushi is co-leading a team from Emory University, including researchers at Winship Cancer Institute, in a project that has been awarded up to $17.6 million from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H).</p><p>The team is developing innovative technology aimed at improving outcomes for patients undergoing cancer surgery. The project, entitled “MarginCall,” is set to transform how surgical margins are evaluated during cancer surgeries, with an initial focus on breast and ovarian cancer.</p><p>This innovative system enables real-time, precise evaluation of surgical margins, potentially reducing the need for repeat surgeries and enhancing patient care. <a href="https://winshipcancer.emory.edu/newsroom/articles/2025/emory-researchers-awarded-up-to-17.6-million-dollars-from-arpa-h-to-innovate-cancer-surgery-improve-outcomes.php"><strong>Read the full story here</strong></a>.</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
