Dr. Yuan Wan's research lab at Binghamton University focuses on developing a quick and efficient method for diagnosing solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs), which can be either benign or malignant. By utilizing liquid biopsies that examine extracellular vesicles (small particles released by cells), the lab aims to create a diagnostic tool that can provide results within five days, significantly improving patient care compared to current imaging methods. Their goal is to enhance the understanding of lung cancer genetics and aid in timely treatment decisions.
