Research Focus
Dr. Xiaoning Jiang's lab focuses on developing advanced ultrasound technologies to improve treatments for deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a condition that affects millions of Americans. The lab is working on a new catheter system that combines ultrasound imaging and therapy to rapidly dissolve blood clots while minimizing risks of bleeding and vessel damage. Their approach seeks to enhance the effectiveness and safety of existing treatments to ultimately save lives and improve outcomes for patients with DVT.
