The NIH National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) recently awarded our lab a 4-year $2.4 R01 grant to investigate the research and development of oxygen microbubbles for treating acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS affectes nearly 10% of patients that arrive to the intensive care unit, and the mortality...

The NIH National Cancer Institute recently awarded our lab with a 5-year $1.76 million R01 research grant for optimization of microbubble dose for blood-brain barrier disruption and treatment of brain cancer and neurological disorders. The research team includes Brandon Harvey at NIDA and Nick Ellens from local ultrasound company Acertera .

We had a great meeting in Rotterdam for the 25th European Symposium on Ultrasound Contrast Imaging . Verya Daeichin presented a talk on his single-shot laser photoacoustic characterization of microbubble dynamics, and Mark Borden presented a poster on Gazendra's new endoskeletal droplets.
