Roblyer and BU BOTLab Highlighted in Boston Globe and ACS Podcast
The Boston Globe has released an article featuring a wearable breast cancer probe, the work of BME Associate Professor Darren Roblyer and the BU BOTLab (Biomedical Optical Technologies lab). The small, painless, wearable probe for breast cancer offers a new way to assess treatment response in real time to see if a patient is responding to pre-surgical chemotherapy, providing a pathway to personalize the treatment plan for each patient. Dr. Roblyer is a two-time American Cancer Society grantee, and the article is published to highlight Breast Cancer Awareness Month:

In addition, the American Cancer Society TheoryLab has just released a podcast of an interview with Prof. Roblyer, including how the technology can help identify who is or is not responding to chemotherapy in the first week of therapy.
