Research Focus
Dr. Caterina Gallippi's lab at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill focuses on developing advanced ultrasound technologies to improve the diagnosis and monitoring of serious health conditions. Their research aims to enhance breast cancer detection through a novel ultrasound method that assesses collagen organization in breast tissue and to monitor kidney transplant rejection without invasive procedures. By combining innovative imaging techniques with biomedical engineering, her lab addresses critical gaps in patient care and disease management.
