Research Focus
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.
