Faculty Innovation Fellows are selected based on their record of innovation at UCI and are chosen to be ambassadors for UCI Beall Applied Innovation.
Each year a new cohort is recruited to bring a new opportunity for fellows to cross-collaborate with one another across different disciplines and cohorts.
See the cohort list here:
Dr. Xiang talked on “Hearing the Invisible Radiation during Cancer Treatment ” at Dartmouth College hosted by Dr. Brian Pogue on 1/21/2021. This talk covered three primary research areas: ionizing radiation dosimetry (photon &. proton), electric field map, and laser dosimetry. Prospects and challenges for the clinical implementation of these techniques has been discussed. The successful development of these technologies will expand the current clinical paradigm towards precision medicine. The seminar was held on Zoom: https://dartmouth.zoom.us/j/99116334589?pwd=SXVXemliU0pGazFiWk5tcXBsbjlnUT09
Dr. PRATIK SAMANT, Postdoctoral Researcher from University of Oxford will present, Friday, Oct 30th 8:30 AM PST on Zoom. Please see the seminar announcement below for more information about Dr. Samant and his seminar Topic.
Radiation therapy is one of the most common treatments for cancer. Radiation dosimetry is a crucial process in radiation therapy to ensure that the correct dose is accurately delivered to the desired location. However, in such a widely used clinical intervention, the delivered radiation dose can only be planned and/or verified via simulation with phantoms, and an in vivo and in-line verification of the delivered dose is still absent in the clinic.
We have proposed X-ray-induced acoustic computed tomography (XACT), as a promising imaging modality to monitor the position of the radiation beam and the deposited dose during external beam radiotherapy delivery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using a transperineal ultrasound transducer array for XACT imaging to guide the prostate radiotherapy. Results of this study will greatly enhance the potential of XACT imaging for real time in vivo dosimetry during radiotherapy.

The TRUE lab invites applications for two postdoctoral fellow positions in novel medical imaging development. Our lab is affiliated with the Department of Radiological Sciences and the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UCI. Also the lab is part of Beckman Laser Institute and Medical Clinic and Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Position 1 (Imaging instrumentation): Candidates who have a strong background X-rays or proton radiation, ultrasonics, FPGA, VHDL, and electronics are highly encouraged to apply. Researchers with experience in photoacoustic imaging, and electroporation will be given a priority.
Position 2 (Image reconstruction): Candidates who have a strong background in 3D image reconstruction, limited view reconstruction, and GPU‐accelerated regularized iterative reconstruction are highly encouraged to apply.
The positions are available immediately and will remain open until filled. Interested candidates should send a cover letter describing your research interests, CV, and contact information of 3 professional references to Dr. Liangzhong Xiang at liangzhx@hs.uci.edu .
As of July 1st, the TRUE lab has been successful relocated from University of Oklahoma (OU) to University of California, Irvine. We are all excited to join UCI. A new chapter begins !
Our lab is located in the Medical Science building on the UCI main campus. And the lab is affiliated to :
Radiological Sciences
Biomedical Engineering
Beckman Laser Institute and Medical Clinic
Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center
Pratik Samant, our graduate student, presented his research on the BME Graduate Student Seminar on April 1st. He was talking about his research on nanoscale photoacoustic tomography. Congrats to Pratik for his great job!
Traditionally, BME graduate students are asked to make a presentation on their research. BME Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to attend the seminar and to provide feedback and suggestions regarding research content as well as presentation style. The audience will be given time to ask questions and voice comments and also to fill out a provided evaluation form. This seminar series is a chance for students to refine presentation skills and to address critical questions that may be raised by audience members.
