The Bioheat Transfer Laboratory broadly engages in improving thermal therapies for the treatment of cancer and other disorders. Focused research areas include characterization of human tissue properties and bioheat transfer modeling for magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thermal therapies. The lab aims to generate collaborative opportunities within and external to BYU, provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to participate in basic to clinical research, and advance therapies with enormous potential for improving cancer treatment outcomes and patients’ quality of life.
