This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under the "Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health" program (CFDA 93.286) provides $365,523 to Georgia Tech Research Corp to develop a novel ultrasound-based approach for imaging and tracking macrophage trafficking. The central goal is to enable highly sensitive in vivo detection of macrophages labeled with ultrasound contrast agents, with the potential to improve diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment monitoring, particularly in the context of solid tumors. The research will first determine the detection limits of microbubble-labeled macrophages using different ultrasound imaging techniques, then assess the sensitivity of this approach in healthy mice and in a tumor model as a proof-of-concept. If successful, this project could provide a new framework for ultrasound-based macrophage imaging and tracking to support the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic technologies.
