VIDEO - GE healthymagination winner uses the power of the web to further breast cancer treatment

In September 2011, GE launched the $100 million healthymagination challenge, an innovation challenge to find and fund the best new ideas for improving breast cancer detection and diagnosis. In response, researchers and innovators from more than 200 institutions in 40 countries submitted over 500 ideas. Today, GE announced the first five winners, who will each receive $100,000 in seed money to fund further research, as well as access and mentoring by GE researchers. Here, one of the winners, Mia Levy of Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, discusses her winning project, MyCancerGenome.org, a free online tool for doctors, patients, and researchers that helps personalize treatment of triple negative breast cancer by providing easily accessible, mutation-specific information and clinical trial listings related to different forms of breast cancer.
