Sheybani Lab
Precision acoustic engineering for next-generation cancer treatments
Our Work
In the Sheybani Lab, we are driven by the idea that sound can be a powerful form of medicine.
Our research advances focused ultrasound (FUS) technology as a non-invasive, non-ionizing, and spatially targeted platform for treating disease deep within the body without surgery. We are engineering FUS paradigms to reprogram tumor immunobiology and power the next generation of cancer immunotherapies with precision and control. By engineering the physics of sound waves to enable safer and more effective cancer treatments, we aim to redefine what is possible in cancer care. Our mission is made possible through a vibrant network of scientific, clinical, and community collaborators.
