The distribution of nano-particles throughout the body using Positron Emission Tomography
Student Name: Tanu Patel. UCD Department: Biomedical Engineering. UCD Mentor: Angelique Louie.
Using a con-focal microscope, Tanu Patel will be analyzing how ultra-fine particles, which have been injected into lab specimen, distribute within an organism. Since air pollution consists of ultra-fine particles, Patel will essentially be researching the effects that air pollution has on health. Air pollution has been a rising issue over the past few years due to the recent knowledge about Global Warming.
