Development of advanced 3D tissue models and O2 imaging methodologies
… and the various applications for these in vitro tissues combined with novel O2 and temperature nanoparticle probes. Here a new method for O2 sensing was introduced, measuring extracellular oxygenation using solid state polystyrene scaffold (AlvetexTM) impregnated with the phosphorescent dye …

Ultrasonic Characterization of Three Animal Mammary Tumors From Three-Dimensional Acoustic Tissue Models
… dissertation investigated how three-dimensional (3D) tissue models can be used to improve ultrasonic tissue characterization (UTC) techniques. Anatomic sites in tissue responsible for ultrasonic scattering are unknown, which limits the potential applications of ultrasound for tumor diagnosis. …

Illuminating epithelial-stromal communication using engineered synthetic matrix microenvironments
Mucosal barrier tissues are prominent targets for drugs against infection and chronic inflammatory disorders. One such mucosal barrier tissue, the endometrium, undergoes monthly cyclic remodeling via hormone-mediated growth, immune cell recruitment and proteolytic breakdown. Hormone response …

The biomechanical properties of epithelial cells and tissue in two and three dimensions
… development and disease progression, cells and tissue undergo mechanical changes and alter their response to external physical cues. This is also true during the onset of colorectal cancer, the second most common cause of cancer deaths in the Western world. Before the changes that occur during …
