معرفی
Sara Keller is a Research Fellow and Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the Department of Engineering Science. She holds a PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Washington (2021) and a BME from Vanderbilt University (2016). Her research focuses on ultrasound-guided therapies, particularly using microbubbles for targeted drug delivery and biofilm treatment. She joined the BUBBL group in 2021, specializing in cavitation activity analysis and medical acoustics.
Her work spans biofilm disruption, cancer treatment monitoring, and preclinical safety studies in porcine models. Key contributions include developing acoustic devices for cell strain quantification and investigating nonlinear echoes from microbubbles. She collaborates on projects like intracranial hemodynamics modeling in sickle cell anemia and optimizing ultrasound-mediated drug delivery systems.
Her recent articles emphasize therapeutic efficacy, safety protocols, and translational applications of ultrasound technologies. Research interests include advancing diagnostic tools through cavitation monitoring and enhancing drug penetration in solid tumors.
Advising and grants: No formal advisees listed; current role focuses on postdoctoral research. Active in the BUBBL group for collaborative biomedical engineering projects.
