Ron Oliveira and James Tunnell
The skin cancer probe being developed in James Tunnell’s lab was
featured on KEYE-TV-Channel 42 on the 10 p.m. newscast on July 20, 2009. KEYE’s Ron Oliveira went to Tunnell’s lab in the Biomedical Engineering building to interview Tunnell and Naras Rajaran, one of the graduate students working on the project.
See the video from KEYE.
The optical probe is designed to determine of a spot on the skin is benign or cancerous. If it’s not benign, the spot should be checked with a biopsy.
The idea of the probe is to reduce the need for biopsies by winnowing out non-cancerous spots on the skin in a doctor’s office.
Find out more about the technology at the Cockrell School of Engineering.
