Dr. Guoqiang Yu was recognized as one of the UK College of Education’s Teachers Who Made a Difference in 2020. The program recognizes educators who made a positive impact on the lives of their students. Dr. Yu received the same recognition in 2016.
The team at UK, led by Sunderam, includes Abhijit Patwardhan, professor and director of graduate studies in the Department of Biomedical Engineering; Guoqiang Yu, associate professor of biomedical engineering; and Bruce O’Hara, professor in the Department of Biology.
CNTC is supported by the NCI/NIH and part of the National Cancer Institute Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer, provides advanced multidisciplinary training for advanced graduate students and postdoctoral fellows toward the goal of creating a new type of cancer nanotechnology researcher who will fully appreciate the breadth of disciplines involved in translating novel laboratory findings to cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Dr. Guoqiang Yu (PhD), Associate Professor in the Center for Biomedical Engineering, was recently awarded a pilot grant from the University of Kentucky Sanders-Brown Center on Aging for a project entitled, “Noninvasive Optical Diagnosis of Cerebrovascular Disease in Older Population”. This study is a multidisciplinary effort involving collaboration with Dr. Charles D. Smith (MD and PhD, Professor of Neurology), Dr. David K. Powell (PhD, Adjunct Professor of CBME), Dr. Gregory A. Jicha (MD, Associate Professor of Neurology), and Dr. Yang Jiang (PhD, Associate Professor of Behavioral Science).
Lihong Wang, the Editor-in-Chief of JBO published an editorial paper: “Continued Growth of JBO”, which acknowledged the most contributed people and work in 2012. view pdf Our lab members and work were included:
