Integration of microfluidics and multimodal optics for translational bioanalytics
Numerous analytical techniques for life sciences have been at the basis of the improvement of medical diagnostics and treatments. Current challenges in bioanalytics are related to the conception of methods enabling large amount of information to be extract ...
EPFL2019Improvement of breast cancer diagnosis through microfluidics
In breast cancer, 15-20% of cases are reported with overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) that causes rapid cancer progression and poor prognosis. Fortunately, HER2-targeted therapy using specific antibodies such as Trastuzumab ...
EPFL2018Radiologic evaluation of lumps in the male breast
BackgroundGynecomastia has a typical appearance on mammography, and occurs frequently in men. However, imaging is often performed on men with breast lumps to exclude breast cancer, which only comprises 1% of male breast masses.PurposeTo assess whether ultr ...
2016Electrochemical Detection of Anti-Breast-Cancer Agents in Human Serum by Cytochrome P450-Coated Carbon Nanotubes
Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Camilla Baj-Rossi
We report on the electrochemical detection of anti-cancer drugs in human serum with sensitivity values in the range of 8–925 nA/µM. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes were functionalized with three different cytochrome P450 isoforms (CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP3A4) ...
2012Analysis of familial risk for prostate, colon and female breast cancer in Sweden
Using the Swedish Familial Cancer Database, organized and studied by the Hemminki group since 1997, the hypotheses that breast, prostate and colorectal cancers were affected by familial risks in Sweden (1958-2008) are tested. The null hypotheses were rejec ...
2011Coevolutionary fuzzy modeling
This thesis presents Fuzzy CoCo, a novel approach for system design, conducive to explaining human decisions. Based on fuzzy logic and coevolutionary computation, Fuzzy CoCo is a methodology for constructing systems able to accurately predict the outcome o ...
EPFL2002Clinical photodynamic therapy for superficial cancer in the esophagus and the bronchi: 514 nm compared with 630 nm light irradiation after sensitization with Photofrin II
Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer in the esophagus and bronchi with red (630 nm) light may occasionally lead to wall perforation and fistula. Therefore, the clin. use of a less penetrating wavelength (514 nm) was investigated for the curative treatment ...
