Research Focus
Dr. Richard M. Levenson's lab at UC Davis focuses on improving breast cancer diagnostics, particularly in low and middle-income countries like Ghana. By combining advanced technologies such as millifluidics and digital imaging, the lab aims to create cost-effective, automated instruments that can provide high-quality diagnostic images from breast cancer biopsies. This project not only aims to enhance diagnostic capabilities but also seeks to integrate real-time therapy guidance and AI tools to better support local healthcare providers.
