Yangpei Liu Celebrated in September's Columbia BME Spotlight

We are thrilled to celebrate our lab's PhD student, Yangpei Liu, who was recently highlighted in September's spotlight by Columbia University's Department of Biomedical Engineering.

September 30, 2025

In this spotlight, Yangpei shared how he initially became interested in the field of biomedical engineering, which includes utilizing the technical intersection of engineering and medicine to better the lives of many patients' outcomes. He chose Columbia to pursue this goal due to ability to collaborate with oncologists and surgeons, and how our lab is located within the medical center! 

Yangpei also reflected on his research milestones in applying ultrasound elastography to predict clinical outcomes for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer. He is especially excited about the future of therapy and drug delivery, and the potential to translate these innovations into the clinic.

We are incredibly proud of Yangpei's accomplishments and his dedication to pushing the boundaries of biomedical engineering! Check out Yangpei's full spotlight feature here.
