Novel Class of Anti-Estrogens

Drs. John and Benita Katzenellenbogen have developed a novel class of anti-estrogen compounds with the potential to act as breast cancer therapeutics. These compounds show...

In vivo Active Inhibitors of FOXM1 for the Treatment of Breast Cancer

Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) constitutes about 10-20% of all diagnosed breast cancers and is known to be more aggressive and difficult to treat. TNBC lacks the...

Novel Class of Anti-estrogen Drugs for the Treatment of Breast Cancer

Many estrogen receptor α (ERα)-positive breast cancers often develop resistance to endocrine therapy due to mutations in ERs. These mutations are associated with shorter...

System and Method for High Volume-Rate Three-Dimensional Ultrasound Imaging

Dr. Pengfei Song from the University of Illinois and his collaborators at the Texas A&M University developed a novel high volume-rate 3D ultrasound imaging method and a device based on Fast...

Dr. Pengfei Song from the University of Illinois and his collaborators at the Texas A&M University developed a novel high volume-rate 3D ultrasound imaging method and a device based on Fast Acoustic Steering via Tilting Electromechanical Reflectors (FASTER).  This technology addresses challenges of conventional 3D ultrasound imaging like high cost and low volume scan rate. FASTER is capable of high volume rate (up to 500 Hz) large field-of-view 3D imaging with conventional 1D transducers.

Digital Methods for Breast Cancer Detection and Distinguishing Different Lesions

Prof. Bhargava has developed a digital method for identifying areas of early stage tumor and distinguishing them from benign population in breast cancer lesions. This...
