This tiny particle could roam your body to find tumors | Sangeeta Bhatia

Published on Jun 7, 2016

What if we could find cancerous tumors years before they can harm us — without expensive screening facilities or even steady electricity? Physician, bioengineer and entrepreneur Sangeeta Bhatia leads a multidisciplinary lab that searches for novel ways to understand, diagnose and treat human disease. Her target: the two-thirds of deaths due to cancer that she says are fully preventable. With remarkable clarity, she breaks down complex nanoparticle science and shares her dream for a radical new cancer test that could save millions of lives.

Sangeeta Bhatia - It’s a small world after all: tiny technologies and liver disease

Published on May 2, 2018

April 28, 2018 - Advances in medical technology have come from cross-fertilization with other major industries: chemicals that became drugs, plastics that became prostheses, and even telecomm fibers that enabled minimally-invasive surgery. Bhatia will discuss how another revolution, the computer revolution, led to micro- and nanoscale fabrication methods that can likewise impact human health. In particular, Bhatia applies tiny technologies to understand and intervene in diseases of the liver such as infection, fibrosis, and failure from drug toxicity. Bhatia represents Class III.
