Mario Fabiilli

Dr. Mario Fabiilli is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology at the University of Michigan Medical School, affiliated with the Basic Radiological Sciences Division. His research focuses on integrating biomaterials with focused ultrasound technologies to develop novel therapies, particularly in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and image-guided interventions. The Fabiilli Ultrasound Lab explores how acoustic mechanisms can be harnessed to control biomaterial properties and drug release in a spatiotemporally precise manner.

Key research areas include ultrasound-responsive biomaterials, acoustic droplet vaporization dynamics, and the development of non-invasive therapeutic approaches. His interdisciplinary work bridges biomedical engineering, materials science, and clinical applications. Recent studies emphasize applications in angiogenesis modulation, bladder pressure measurement, and scaffold-based drug delivery systems.

Dr. Fabiilli collaborates with institutions such as the Basic Radiological Sciences Division and has contributed to over 69 peer-reviewed publications. His lab is located at the Medical Sciences Building I on the University of Michigan Medical School campus.
