Unlocking the Brain: Using Microbubbles and Ultrasound for Drug Delivery

New research offers therapeutic hope for patients battling conditions like brain cancer or Alzheimer’s disease.

Closing the Loop to Target Brain Glioblastomas

Algorithm-controlled focused ultrasound system uses microbubbles to open a pathway for a powerful immunotherapy to reach brain tumors

Proposed design of a 1mm catheter-based ultrasound device designed to simultaneously measure plaque composition, artery structure, and hemodynamics in 3D in coronary arteries. The device minimizes disturbances to blood flow from the catheter itself. Assistant Professor Brooks Lindsey is leading a new $2.5 million project to develop the device, which will help doctors assess whether patients need aggressive treatment to prevent a heart attack.
