Walsh, Alexandra Jule (2012-04-09)Department: Biomedical EngineeringThe optical redox ratio (fluorescence intensity of NADH divided by that of FAD), was acquired for a panel of breast cancer cell lines to investigate how overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) ...

Optical spectroscopy for the evaluation of surgical margin status following breast cancer resection Keller, Matthew David (2009-12-23)Department: Biomedical EngineeringThe presence of tumor within 1-2 millimeters of the surgical margin following partial mastectomies is strongly correlated with the risk of local breast tumor recurrence; thus, there is a need to develop a non-invasive, ...
-
Walter, Alec Bryant (2019-04-09)Department: Biomedical EngineeringThe increased incidence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, like methicillin-resistant S. aureus, necessitates treatments that prevent the development of further resistance. One method that has shown promise in this regard ...
-
Wyatt, Shelby Katherine (2007-04-13)Department: Biomedical EngineeringThe emerging field of molecular imaging (MI) aims to noninvasively, quantitatively and repetitively monitor biological processes in vivo to detect disease, probe its basis, and study relevant biochemical pathways at the ...
-
Duke, Austin Robert (2012-12-06)Department: Biomedical EngineeringThe neurostimulation market is one of the fastest growing sectors of the medical device industry. This is primarily due to both an increasing patient population and recent advances in clinical neural interfaces. However, ...
