Welcome to the Ultrasound Biophysics & Bioengineering Laboratory (UB²L). Our research program is focused on ultrasound biophysics and its overarching goal is the discovery and translation to the clinics of novel therapeutic interventions against human disease. Specific areas of our research include biomedical ultrasonics, linear and nonlinear acoustics, sound propagation in complex media (brain/skull), microbubble dynamics (acoustic cavitation) and control, and image guided therapy. Our lab is particularly active in the field of cancer research, where we conduct fundamental investigations on ultrasound and microbubble-meditated mass transport in brain tumors and develop computational tools to support the more rational design of focused-ultrasound-based treatment of brain cancer.
