Dr. Yener N. Yeni's lab focuses on improving bone health monitoring in breast cancer patients during treatment. The lab is investigating a novel imaging technique called digital wrist tomosynthesis, which uses existing mammography equipment to assess bone quality and predict fracture risk without the need for additional appointments. This research aims to enhance patient care by integrating bone health assessment into routine breast cancer follow-up.

Dr. Quan Jiang's lab focuses on understanding how the brain clears waste products, especially in conditions like diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. The team investigates the connections between the brain's waste clearance systems and cognitive decline, employing advanced imaging techniques to observe these processes in real-time. This research aims to uncover mechanisms that could help slow or prevent the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.

Dr. Anna Moore's lab focuses on developing innovative therapies for metastatic breast cancer using nanoparticle-based techniques. They use specially designed nanodrugs to target and inhibit specific microRNAs responsible for cancer cell survival and growth. Through research involving large animal models, the lab aims to translate these promising findings into potential treatment options for human patients.

Dr. Erik Shapiro's lab focuses on enhancing the healing of peripheral nerve injuries by using advanced 3D printed tissue engineered scaffolds. These scaffolds incorporate special materials that allow for monitoring via standard imaging techniques, helping doctors ensure that the devices are functioning as intended after implantation. The research aims to translate these innovative devices from the lab to clinical practice to improve patient recovery outcomes.
