The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation named two research teams the winners of its annual Innovation Awards, the organization announced today.

One winning team is predicting prostate cancer in tissue biopsies and the other is developing therapeutic cells for tissue-specific repair. Both earned $10,000.

“Celebrating WARF’s annual grant in tandem with some of our most innovative technologies and their faculty and student inventors draws the clear connection to WARF’s partnership with our University community.” WARF Managing Director Erik Iverson said in a statement.

Like years past, an independent panel of judges selected the winners from a field of six finalists, who came from more than 400 entries.
