T he University of Florida is in
Gamesville, but IJF research extends
frcrm Pensacola to Key West.
Although LIF i' an internationrially rec-

gineering to educatlic, Universit, ol Florida
researchers ceek a greater understanding of
the h 'ii,::cal, economic r and 5cical rnale-ulp
of the Sunshine State.
During the 2005-06 fiscal yeai, UIF
passed halt a billion dollars in I esearcli
awards for the first time. More than hali oI
that rmone,, goes to the six colleges of the
UF Health Scienrce C entei, where thus hands
of doctor. and scientists collalborate to
create and refine c utting-ege medical
treat ents.
IF's Irinstitute ot Food arid Agricultural

Proton Therapy Institute

The University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute located at Shands Jacksonville is
a 98,000-square-foot facility providing conventional radiation cancer treatment and pro-
ton therapy. At capacity, the facility can treat up to 200 patients. An additional area of
research is being developed to improve proton therapy through new technology. Recent
advances in the technology used to locate tumors and to calculate radiation dosages have
opened the wav to make proton therapy a viable treatment option for many kinds of can
_:er. These advari : es, : :rril:,rine:l xilth the e ie, t,':e a: ,It at the I_1ivel -t, i :, Fl,:,ia:1
