Gambhir Lab Alum makes headlines with a Novel Cancer Detection Technique
Former Gambhir lab postdoc, Adam de la Zerda, now an assistant professor of Structural Biology, has developed a technique to find cancerous tumors hiding beneath tissues. The patented technique is called photoacoustic molecular imaging and he developed it under the guidance of Dr. Sam Gambhir, chair of radiology, and Dr. Pierre Khuri-Yakub, professor of electrical engineering.
The technique converts light into ultrasound waves using nanoparticles, which then provides a much more detailed image than existing technologies.

Research on Imaging Therapeutic Stem Cells Received Media Coverage
A new paper from the Gambhir Lab by Dr. Jokerst entitled "Intracellular Aggregation of Multimodal Silica Nanoparticles for Ultrasound-Guided Stem Cell Implantation in Living Mice" has been published in Science Translational Medicine. The research details the use of nanoparticles to facilitate the initial placement of therapeutic stem cells into the host and the ability to track those cells over time. The paper has received news coverage in Stanford Medicine, Fox News, MIT Technology Review, MedCity News, Nature Medicine, and redOrbit.
