Research Focus
Dr. Marie Muller's lab focuses on developing advanced ultrasound techniques for assessing lung diseases and cancer. The lab aims to create non-invasive methods for real-time monitoring and diagnosis, improving accuracy and patient care without exposing them to harmful radiation. By quantifying lung conditions and angiogenesis, the lab seeks to enhance cardiovascular and cancer treatment outcomes.
