Dr. Keith D. Paulsen's research lab focuses on improving breast cancer diagnosis through innovative imaging techniques. By combining near-infrared spectroscopic tomography (NIRST) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the team seeks to create a diagnostic tool that does not require contrast injection or ionizing radiation. Their work aims to enhance the detection capabilities for breast abnormalities and contribute to better clinical management for patients.

Dr. Shudong Jiang's lab at Dartmouth College focuses on developing innovative imaging technologies to improve the early detection of breast cancer treatment responses. They are particularly interested in using Near-infrared Spectral Tomography (NIRST) to monitor vascular changes in breast tumors during neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This research could offer a noninvasive and cost-effective way to predict the effectiveness of cancer treatments much earlier than traditional methods.

Dr. Margaret E Ackerman's lab at Dartmouth College focuses on novel antibody therapies to combat viral infections, specifically HIV and neonatal herpes simplex virus (nHSV). They explore how broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) can be engineered and optimized to enhance their effectiveness in preventing these infections. The research aims to translate these approaches into practical treatments that can significantly improve health outcomes for affected populations.

Professor Geoffrey P. Luke's lab at Dartmouth College focuses on developing advanced imaging techniques to improve cancer detection, specifically for head and neck cancers. The lab aims to create a non-invasive ultrasound imaging tool that uses special contrast agents to identify small cancerous deposits in lymph nodes. By improving detection methods, the research hopes to enhance treatment planning and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

Dr. Periannan Kuppusamy's lab at Dartmouth College is focused on developing innovative medical devices to improve cancer treatment. The primary project involves creating a specialized scanner that can measure the oxygen levels in tumors in real-time, which can help in planning better radiation therapy. This research combines engineering with clinical applications to enhance cancer care and monitor important health indicators.
