In a collaboration between UF’s biomedical engineering and neurosurgery departments, UF researchers are testing the potential of nanoparticle imaging to boost cancer immunity.

A recent study featuring research by University of Florida Engineering Professor Wesley Bolch, Ph.D., links exposure to radiation from medical imaging to a small-but-significant risk of blood cancers among children and adolescents.

Intensive care units (ICUs) in the United States admit over five million patients annually, with mortality rates ranging from 10% to 29%. Given that a patient’s condition can change rapidly, early detection of deterioration is crucial for enabling timely interventions and improving outcomes. While existing systems provide some guidance, they are often manual and offer […]
