Charge:• Your task is to develop core ideas/projects for an $8-10M
($1.25-1.5M per year for 5 years) NIH Center proposal.
– Catheter-based Ultrasound with Microbubbles
• Specifically, you should consider the following questions
Briefly describe the core projects your group would design for the Center. Please dream big.Intravascular Ultrasound with Targeted Microbubbles
• Microbubble enhanced ultrasound is normally done only in regions where ultrasound imaging can be done
Project Focus:
• Use intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) with focused beam profile to burst microbubbles in areas of the body where ultrasonic imaging is not possible
• Introduce drug-laden microbubbles for targeted drug delivery
• Diagnose delivery amount using IVUS-based targeted tissue palpitation
Identify the key faculty from from both campuses to involve in these projects. Include their strengths. (UNMC on next slide)• UNL Faculty Strengths
