Ewan Cameron Papers, 1935-1997

1. Mice Cancer Experiments. 1970-1997.

These materials document a set of mice experiments that Cameron carried out in collaboration with Dr. Jeff Bland and Dr. Richard Marcuson that explored the effects of dietary fatty acids on incidences of breast and colon cancers. The serie includes a wide range of records, from experiment proposals and descriptions, to budgets, data sheets, correspondence, manuscripts and related articles. The boxes are arranged according to the stage of a given experiment, with files organized by date, as applicable.
