Dr. Hong Chen’s research teamhas completed a preclinical study using sonobiopsy (liquid biopsy) to improve the quantity of biomarkers released in a model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
The method significantly increased two biomarker levels when compared with conventional methods.
Sonobiopsy could help diagnose AD and other neurodegenerative disorders.
Professor Gail ter Haar, PhD, is a renowned expert who works at the intersection of focused ultrasound and physics.
She leads the therapeutic ultrasound team at The Institute for Cancer Research, which was designated the Foundation’s first Center of Excellence in Europe.
Her team is involved in a Foundation-funded trial using focused ultrasound to resolve twin-twin transfusion syndrome.
The Foundation’s Global Internship Program allows high school and college students who are interested in focused ultrasound to conduct research with esteemed mentors in the field.
Applications for this three-month summer research experience will be accepted through April 29.
Lauren Powlovich, MD, the Foundation’s Associate Chief Medical Officer, was recently featured on the pediatric cancer awareness podcast “Help and Hope Happen Here.”
She discussed the Foundation’s mission and current focused ultrasound research for pediatric applications.
“If focused ultrasound can decrease the doses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy for pediatric cancer patients, then I see a time when those toxicity-related side effects that are experienced years later are lessened. I'm hopeful we can get there.”
