Research Interest

We have five major current projects, encompassing targeted imaging, the development of new drug delivery vehicles, the development of new very wideband transducers, and development of a 3D system for combined imaging and drug delivery.  Members of our laboratory bring expertise in many areas including biomedical engineering, physics, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, material science, and biology.  We work very closely with industrial partners to develop new translational technologies.
