Lung-on-a-Chip

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder’s Shields Lab — led by Wyatt Shields, PhD, an assistant professor of
chemical and biological engineering — are investigating how engineered microparticles, specifically designed for use in biomedicine, can be used in areas such as biosensing, where they bind to certain molecules or cells to enable drug delivery and the detection of biological conditions.

Melihat ke Dalam Paru-Paru

Selama sekolah kedokteran, Peter Lindholm bergabung dengan laboratorium yang meneliti penerbangan, ruang angkasa, dan fisiologi bawah air, di mana ia mengembangkan minatnya pada fisiologi penyelaman dengan menahan napas, yang menjadi bahan tesis doktoralnya. Sebagai salah satu dokter untuk Federasi Selam Olahraga Swedia (SSDF), ia terlibat dalam pengembangan protokol penyelaman menahan napas dan melatih instruktur pertama penyelaman menahan napas yang kompetitif. Setelah pelatihan klinis sebagai ahli radiologi, Lindholm pindah ke San Diego, California, tempat dia memimpin kelompok penelitian yang berfokus pada fisiologi selam dan kedokteran selam.
