Brain-Targeted Nanoparticles for Delivering Agents to the Brain
The blood brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective semipermeable complex, and only about 2% of small molecules in the blood can penetrate it. Because of this, drug delivery to the brain is fairly ineffective. Research into receptors expressed on the BBB is promising, however, many receptors (glucose transporter 1, transferrin receptor, LDL-receptor...

Rapid Culture-Free Large-Volume Scattering Imaging for UTI Pathogen Detection and Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing
Antibiotic resistance is a significant public health threat, in part due to the misuse and overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Most antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) techniques are slow and culture-based, taking days to produce results, which delays treatment and can put patients at risk. Dipstick-type tests and manual microscopy are faster,...

Photoacoustic Nanosensor Probes for Imaging Neurotransmitter Dynamics
The ability to monitor spatiotemporal dynamics of neurotransmitter release is crucial for understanding the basis of brain function. The precise cognitive operations supported by the changes in cortical neuromodulatory activity have not been fully recognized, largely due to the limitations of current methods which have trade-offs between spatial, temporal,...

Plasmonic Cell Force Microscopy
Cellular force is important in activities including migration, proliferation and differentiation, which are mediated by interactions between the cell and the ECM. Monitoring these interactions helps to understand how and when mechanical cues play a role in cellular events and underlying mechanisms. However, there are limitations in spatial and temporal...

Pneumatically Controlled RF Coils for MRI & Spectroscopy
Radio Frequency (RF) coils transmit and receive RF signals in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Designing FR coils is a challenge because they often have to operate at multiple frequencies and it is difficult to enable them to resonate at multiple frequencies or switch their resonating frequencies. Positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) diodes are commonly...
