Graduate Research Assistant
University of Colorado Boulder
My name is Jair Castillo, and currently I am a PhD student in the Biomedical Engineering Program at the University of Colorado Boulder. My research is related to ultrasound molecular imaging, specifically, we use functionalized ultrasound contrast agents to specifically target biomarkers generally associated with the progression of different pathologies. By using this technique, we are able to image and potentially diagnose diseases, such as cancer, during its early stages with ultrasound technology.
