About the Department

​

The Biomedical Acoustics Development and Engineering Research Laboratory seeks personnel at the technician in the field of image-guided focused ultrasound therapies for the treatment of renal tumors. More advanced candidates (e.g., postdoctoral) will also be considered. The overall goal of this American Cancer Society-funded project is to develop an image-guided histotripsy technique for rapid ablation of renal cell carcinoma and neuroblastoma to decrease patient morbidity and mortality. This work will integrate technological advances in ultrasound imaging, computer vision, and advanced robotics to assist in the development of methods to improve clinical outcomes (e.g. efficacy, accuracy, and safety) of histotripsy ablation. Further information on the project can be found at baderlab.uchicago.edu.
