Group SupponenOpen OpportunitiesAcoustic Droplet Vaporization is the phase-change process of superheated droplets (usually micrometric or nanometric in size) triggered by the exposure to an ultrasound wave. This phenomenon can be greatly exploited in the biomedical field for application like drug delivery and embolotherapy. Ultrasound imaging is an effective way to study and characterize it, with the final goal to improve the safety and efficacy of this treatment. - Biomechanical Engineering, Fluidization and Fluid Mechanics

| The blood-brain barrier (BBB) poses a substantial challenge for effectively treating brain diseases with drugs. Utilising focused ultrasound in conjunction with microbubbles offers a promising approach to selectively and temporarily breach the BBB. This presents a potential avenue for enhancing drug delivery from the bloodstream into the brain. The proposed project seeks to explore the opening of the BBB using ultrasound and microbubble mediation with unprecedented precision. - Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Physics
