Research Focus
Dr. Jeff W. Bulte's lab at Johns Hopkins University focuses on improving cancer treatments through advanced imaging technologies. By using magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONPs), the lab works on coordinating imaging with magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) to enhance the effectiveness of radiation therapy for cancer patients. The goal is to develop methods that allow precise control of heat applied to tumors while monitoring the treatment in real-time, which could lead to better outcomes for patients.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
