LSI is among five new teams of Georgia Tech and Emory researchers that have been selected for foundational support through the Immunoengineering Seed Grant program, which is led by the Georgia Research Alliance (GRA). In collaboration with Dr. John Altman at Emory, LSI will develop massively parallel technologies to measure and monitor the immune response. Read more […]

Our work examining the use of activity-based biomarkers for early cancer detection has been published in PNAS.Summary | The discovery of cancer at an early stage improves treatment outcomes, yet cancer detection thresholds based on blood biomarkers shed by small tumors lack predictivity. We develop a mathematical framework to explore the use of activity-based biomarkers for […]

Quoc grew up halfway around the world in Saigon, Vietnam. Due to his love for computer games, he studied Computer Science at the University of Science for two years before his family immigrated to the US and settled in North Carolina. Quoc then transferred to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he […]

From Science Daily, "Engineers have devised a way to detect cancer that has spread to the liver, by enlisting help from probiotics -- beneficial bacteria similar to those found in yogurt. Using a harmless strain of E. coli that colonizes the liver, the researchers programmed the bacteria to produce a luminescent signal that can be […]
