Update long overdue

It’s been quite a busy time and a lot has happened since our last post. Arnau and Tara graduated with flying colors and are now continuing their careers at Harvard University and Duke University. We are very proud of them! Our lab is also expanding and we are very happy to welcome Raj, Albert, David, and Sam! Stay tuned, more exciting news coming soon.

One ring to rule them all 💍

Tara is currently working on a project sponsored by Happy Health to develop and characterize a new smart ring that measures the electrical resistance of the skin to predict mental stress!

If you are interested in biomedical devices and vital sign monitoring, this is the place to make it happen 😀

 

A new device to diagnose skin cancer

Skin cancer is still detected using visual examination, a method of limited reliability for early detection, subtype determination, or measuring the extent of skin invasion. With the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI), we have validated a new device, named URSKIN, that exploits changes in the electrical properties of skin that occur during cancer cell development by using a technique called non-visual electrical impedance demography (EID).
