The findings, published online today in Nature, could potentially transform patient care in AML
by giving clinicians a risk scoring tool that within a day or two of diagnosis can
predict individual response and help guide treatment decisions, says co-principal
investigator Dr. Jean Wang, Affiliate Scientist at the Princess Margaret, University Health Network (UHN).
The team led
by three principal
investigators, Heino Falcke, Radboud University Nijmegen, Michael Kramer, Max - Planck - Institut für Radioastronomie, and Luciano Rezzolla, Goethe University in Frankfurt and Max - Planck - Institut für Gravitationsphysik, Potsdam, hopes to measure the shadow cast
by the event horizon of the black hole in the center of the Milky Way, find new radiopulsars near this black hole, and combine these measurements with advanced computer simulations of the behaviour of light and matter around black holes as
predicted by theories of gravity.
