The field of computer assisted radiology has recently seen an explosion of novel techniques that have been made possible due to advancements in computer algorithms. …
We worked to develop an analysis system that can process and classify large data sets of audio, specifically infant cries. This clinical project focuses on …
The ability to move magnetic particles at a distance through the use of external magnetic fields has broad implications in drug delivery, soft robotics and …
The revolutionization of capillary electrophoresis (CE) technology has increased research into CE-related issues on long read and ultra-long read lengths for next-generation sequencing (NGS). An …
The internet, high-speed communication, and biomedical imaging rely on the transfer of information by light, and thus depend on optical technologies. The fundamental problem of …
Cells are rich in a variety of diagnostic information, from morphology to nucleic acid, protein, and metabolite composition. Cells possess more data than any other …
To make viable organs for transplant is our long-term goal. To reach that, our lab creates building blocks of tissues by having cells self-assemble in …
Acute adult hydrocephalus is a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles of the brain, and it requires timely, precise, and accurate treatment. In …
Many diagnostic tests are dependent on the effective capture and amplification of nucleic acids. However, the biological samples which contain the target molecules (blood, urine, …
Fibrosis is a multifactorial process characterized by the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM), increased tissue stiffness, and decreased elasticity. To understand how growth factor …
The studies presented in this dissertation describe and apply methods for using biplanar videoradiography to study dynamic in vivo knee motion. The techniques presented in …
The conversion of epithelial cells to mesenchymal cells, or the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), is a phenotypic program critical to embryonic development and wound healing, however, …
Abstract of “The Role of Mechanical Properties in Stem Cell Adipogenesis” by Nicholas R. Labriola, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2017 The mechanical properties of cells …
Epithelial cells dynamically reprogram their adhesive phenotypes to facilitate collective migration during tissue development and wound healing. The classical epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is associated with …
The placenta plays a crucial role during pregnancy, yet it remains one of the least understood human organs. Trophoblast cells comprise the placenta with functions …
