Nanomedicine: Out of the Lab and Into the Field — With Andrea Armani

Photonic technologies like lab-on-a-chip are taking out a lot of
the head-scratching and tedium that goes along with traditional
diagnostic methods, giving patients and clinicians access to
technology that is cheaper, quicker, and often more
reliable. Andrea Armani, the Ray Irani Chair in Engineering
and Materials Science at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering,
is working at the forefront of this exciting technology and
others that promise to revolutionize the world of medicine. In
this episode, Armani discusses the current landscape of
lab-on-a-chip technology, optogenetics, and the current and
potential capabilities of both. She also discusses the path to
commercialization, and what these advancements in nanomedicine
may mean for the future. Sponsored by: Teledyne Judson
