Dorian Durig presented a poster and gave an oral talk titled "Nanobubble-Labeled CAR-T Cell Tracking via Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound: Assessing Biodistribution and Kinetics" at the International Society for Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU) conference. Dorian is mentored by Agata Exner, PhD and David Wald, MD, PhD.

Lead researcher Dr. Satish Viswanath and his colleagues recently received VA Merit Award funding for their project that is developing new image-based Artificial Intelligence tools for personalized medicine in rectal cancers.

Kaustav Bera received a Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 1-year Research Resident Grant for the project, "MR Fingerprinting for the Evaluation of Chronic Allograft Nephropathy: Reproducibility of the Technique and Correlation With Renal Function and Histopathology." Bera's mentors are Dr. Sree Tirumani and Dr. Yong Chen from…

Susann Brady-Kalnay, PhD, Professor, Molecular Biology and Microbiology, Neurosciences, and Pathology, CWRU School of Medicine, received funding from The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation for her work titled "Use of magnetic resonance fingerprinting for determining response to immunotherapy in pediatric brain tumors."

News 5 Cleveland highlighted the work of Satish Viswanath, CCIR member and associate professor, BME at CWRU about a new NIH and NCI grant to continue research in AI to treat rectal cancer. "It's been a long time coming to get to this stage where, we can validate it on a larger scale," Viswanath said.

With a new five-year, $2.78 million grant from the National Institutes of Health and National Cancer Institute, researchers at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals (UH) will use artificial intelligence (AI) to better treat rectal cancer patients. The…

WKYC Cleveland Channel 3 highlighted the work of Dr. Agata Exner and the Exner Lab on ultrasound-sensitive nanobubbles. This more targeted treatment could “spare the normal tissue and spare the systemic side effects that are associated with chemotherapy, with radiation therapy and with surgery," Exner said.

In a Nature article, Shuo Li, PhD, discusses how virtual contrast agents powered by AI could highlight the same hidden features as contrast dyes.

The establishment of the new Center for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Enabling Discovery in Disease Biology (AID2B) at CWRU School of Medicine, spearheaded by Satish E. Viswanath, PhD and Jacob Scott, MD, DPhil, will leverage AI to help understand the mysteries of disease and improve people’s health.

The 2024 Morgenthaler-Pavey Startup Competition grand prize, first place in the Venture Track, went to Lighthanded Enterprises, co-founded by Dr. Brecken Blackburn, postdoctoral researcher in BME and CCIR Trainee Council education chair.
