Dynamic Imaging grant of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative awarded to David Maresca

Description

Physicist David Maresca has received a Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Dynamic Imaging grant to develop a next-generation medical ultrasound tool. While state-of-the-art ultrasound imaging, known to most as a baby’s first picture, can show our anatomy and organs, the new tool will be able to zoom in much further, all the way down to the level of the cells in our body. Maresca: “Ultrasound is a safe but also affordable and widespread technology. If we can push the boundaries and make it more sensitive, it will potentially help a lot of people.”
