Focused Ultrasound Analyst - Chicago, United States - University of Chicago
Description
DepartmentBSD RAD- Bader Lab
About the Department
The Biomedical Acoustics Development and Engineering Research Laboratory seeks personnel in the field of image-guided focused ultrasound therapies for the treatment of renal tumors.
The overall goal of this project funded in part by the American Cancer Society, Focused Ultrasound Foundation, and Children's Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation and is to develop an image-guided histotripsy technique for rapid ablation of renal cell carcinoma and neuroblastoma to decrease patient morbidity and mortality.
This work will integrate technological advances in ultrasound imaging, computer vision, and advanced robotics to assist in the development of methods to improve clinical outcomes of tumor ablation with focused ultrasound technology.
Further information on the project can be found atJob Summary
The scholar will conduct in vitro studies with high frame rate active and passive ultrasound imaging techniques to monitor bubble cloud activity initiated by the histotripsy source.
This at-will position is wholly or partially funded by contractual grant funding which is renewed under provisions set by the grantor of the contract.
