The Future of Early Lung Cancer Detection

Description of Course:

Are you ready to explore the cutting-edge of medical technology that could revolutionize healthcare? “A Breath of Hope: The Future of Early Lung Cancer Detection” invites students into the fascinating world of nanosensors and medical innovation, with a focus on inhalable technology designed to detect lung cancer at its earliest stages.

This course offers a hands-on, research-driven exploration of how new diagnostic tools like aerosolized nanosensors are paving the way for accessible, life-saving lung cancer screening in low-resource settings. Inspired by the groundbreaking work of Professor Sangeeta Bhatia and her team at MIT, students will learn about the science behind this technology and its real-world applications.

Beyond understanding the mechanics of these inhalable sensors, students will engage in discussions about the social and global impact of making such tools available, especially in regions where traditional methods like CT scans are out of reach.

Join us to discover how you can contribute to the future of healthcare innovation, reduce global disparities in cancer detection, and be part of an exciting movement towards a healthier, more equitable world.
