Our PI, Dr. Elisa E. Konofagou, Robert and Margaret Hariri Professor of Biomedical Engineering, has been elected to the 2025 Class of Fellows of the National Academy of Inventors.
Fotis will present his ongoing research at the International Symposium on Biomolecular Ultrasound & Sonogenetics (ISBUS) held in Pasadena, California. His presentation will be on Thursday 12/11, at 1:30 PM PST.
UEIL and Dr. Elisa Konofagou were highlighted in the recently published news in IEEE Spectrum for pioneering the use of focused ultrasound to repeatedly and safely open the blood–brain barrier in children with diffuse midline glioma.
Focused ultrasound from UEIL was recently featured in CUIMC News as the first technique shown to safely open the blood-brain barrier in children undergoing treatment for brain cancer. This noninvasive approach uses sound waves to temporarily loosen the barrier so chemotherapy drugs can more effectively reach the tumor, and UEIL’s work has demonstrated that the barrier can be reliably opened and then restored without compromising safety.

Columbia Technology Ventures has announced a new coherence factor–based passive acoustic mapping (PAM) platform from UEIL that enables real-time monitoring of transcranial focused ultrasound (FUS).
Saachi and Seongyeon will present their ongoing research at the 6th Joint Meeting Acoustical Society of America and Acoustical Society of Japan, to be held in Honolulu, Hawaii from Dec 1–5, 2025.
This Halloween, our lab swapped pipettes for pumpkin scoops in a 60-minute carving challenge with costumes, creativity, and (a lot of) snacks! Five teams worked against the clock to craft glowing pumpkin lanterns. Congratulations to PWI, whose adorable pumpkin pigs earned first place!
