Effects of Radiation Therapy on Normal Tissue Function
Wednesday, January 22, 2025
We study how radiation exposure given for cancer therapy impacts the surrounding normal tissues and causes adverse effects, like vision loss or cognitive decline after ocular or cerebral radiotherapy. Our focus is on using non-invasive imaging modalities to evaluate blood flow, tissue oxygenation, and vessel integrity after radiation therapy, to determine how these changes are associated with or cause progressive disease.
REU in Computing for Health and Well-being
Thursday, January 16, 2025
The Computer Science Department at the University of Iowa will conduct a 10-week summer research program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Our site is motivated by the considerable strain on the U.S. healthcare system due to short-term challenges, such as those posed by the COVID-19 outbreak, and long-term trends, such as an aging U.S. population. Computer scientists are in a unique position to help solve these and other problems in health and well-being. Ten participants will join their faculty mentor's research group to work on interdisciplinary projects
