At the IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium (IUS) 2023, our lab, under the guidance of Dr. Agata Exner from Case Western Reserve University, showcased some remarkable research. Dr. Petch Nittayacharn compared doxorubicin-loaded nanobubbles and microbubbles for delivering drugs to liver tumors, potentially transforming liver cancer treatments.
Dana Wegierak introduced "Decorrelation Time Mapping" as a game-changing tool for improving ultrasound imaging using nanobubbles. This could lead to more accurate medical diagnoses and monitoring with CEUS.
Dr. Michaela Cooley and summer student Eric Piper explored the effects of nanobubble shell stiffness and temperature on stability and interactions with red blood cells, opening doors to safer contrast agents for medical imaging.
Our lab is committed to pushing the boundaries of ultrasonics research. We're excited about the potential impact of these studies and eagerly anticipate joining the IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium in 2024 in Taipei. Stay tuned for updates!
