Researchers are making promising strides toward that goal, writes National Institutes of Health Director Monica Bertagnolli in a new director’s blog entry.
How so? Bertagnolli points to an effort at Harvard Medical School to create a model that can diagnose multiple types of cancer, an advance beyond existing models that focus on just one type.

The model the researchers have developed, the...
