Furthering dynamic imaging research.
Seeing a Way to Combat Cancer
In the fight to treat ovarian cancer, innovative chemical imaging techniques developed by Professor Ji-Xin Cheng (ECE, BME, MSE) are fast becoming valuable tools, as reported in two high-impact journals in the space of two months.
Giving Your Neurons a Nudge: ECE Researchers Use Light, Sound and Microwaves to Influence Brain Function
Professors Ji-Xin Cheng and Chen Yang have two ongoing projects that could LITERALLY change your mind. The application of optoacoustic stimulation directly to specific neural circuits holds great promise for new therapeutic applications, while the inhibiting effects of microwaves on other neurological processes may offer a drug-free form of pain management.
Unveiling the Hidden Signatures of Drug Resistance in Cancer Cells
Supported by a $1.75M grant from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, a multidisciplinary team of experts led by Professor Ji-Xin Cheng are developing a novel approach to establish high-speed, high-content and high-sensitivity mapping of cancer cell metabolism.
A Laser Focus on Fighting Cancer
Professor Ji-Xin Cheng’s pioneering work on medical imaging technologies is poised to advance cancer diagnosis and treatment, with a pair of projects that use different types of vibrational spectroscopy to improve our understanding of cancer at the cellular and molecular level.
