Researcher Spotlight

  • Jun Xia
    10/5/23
    Seeing inside the body is of critical importance for diagnosing and treating disease. Dr. Xia is an expert in an emerging technique for generating high-resolution images from inside the body called photoacoustic computed tomography or PACT...
  • Xiaoliang Zhang
    3/20/26
    Magnetic resonance (MR) is a noninvasive, nonionic imaging modality in playing an important role in biomedical investigations and clinical diagnosis. It is capable of capturing not only anatomic structure but also cellular and molecular information in living systems...
  • Yun Wu
    3/20/26
    Nanoparticles can be used to fight cancer, but, uncontrolled in the environment, they can be a health risk. Dr. Yun Wu’s research span these areas to include developing engineered theranostics and multifunctional nanoparticles...
  • Ciprian Ionita
    3/20/26
    Better imaging and better devices are key to improving the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral stroke. Dr. Ionita’s research focuses on these areas through the development of x-ray detectors...
  • Debanjan Sarkar
    10/20/23
    Tissue engineering has long held promise for building new organs to replace damaged body parts. Dr. Sarkar's research focuses on overcoming the challenging of growing cells and organizing them into 3-dimensional functional structures...
  • B. Rita Alevriadou
    8/4/25
    Despite all the progress made fighting systemic risk factors, cardiovascular disease continues to be the major cause of death in de­veloped na­tions. Atherosclerotic vascular disease, the underlying cause of heart attacks, is associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction...
  • Jonathan Lovell
    3/20/26
    Commited to developing safer, organic nanoparticles that will allow superior treatment options for cancer therapy, Dr. Lovell recently discovered a new class of nanoparticle, porphysomes, that accumulate in tumors and can be heated using a laser...
  • Ruogang Zhao
    3/20/26
    What can cell stiffness tell us about the health of tissues? Dr. Zhao’s research involves stressing tissues to better understand cell and tissue mechanics using novel magnetic microsystems, and the fabrication of biomaterials for tissue engineering...
  • Mark Ehrensberger
    10/18/23
    Better imaging and better devices are key to improving the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral stroke. Dr. Ionita’s research focuses on these areas through the development of x-ray detectors...
  • Ramkumar T. Annamalai
    10/20/23
    Dr. Ram's research program aims to harness the power of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) to improve the lives of those affected by musculoskeletal diseases, trauma, and aging.
  • Albert Titus
    9/18/23
    Adapting electronics to function in, on and around the body to improve human health and well-being is the focus of Dr. Titus’ research. For example, the days of being blinded by glare from the sun, despite the $300 sunglasses straddling your face, may soon be over...
  • Leslie Ying
    9/18/23
    Biomedical imaging is one of the most important enabling technologies in healthcare today. Imaging allows us to see objects, structures, and biological processes unreachable by human vision, providing tremendous opportunities to study biology...
