Dr. Gareth Eaton's lab at the University of Denver focuses on pioneering imaging techniques that measure the role of free radicals in cancer and other diseases using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Their innovative projects include developing a portable EPR tumor imager, which aims to enhance our understanding of tumor environments and improve therapies for various conditions such as lung damage and injuries. This research incorporates advanced technology to make complex imaging more accessible for broad biomedical use.

Dr. Sunil Kumar's lab at the University of Denver focuses on developing new treatments for Lewy Body Dementia (LBD), a common type of dementia caused by protein aggregation in the brain. The lab synthesizes novel synthetic protein mimetics that can inhibit the aggregation of the alpha-synuclein protein, which is linked to LBD. They aim to optimize these compounds for safety and effectiveness, with the hope of advancing them towards clinical trials to help thousands suffering from this condition.
