Wausau, WI – Alexandra Jule Walsh, B.E., M.S., a graduate of Vanderbilt University, is a recipient of an American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, Inc. (ASLMS) 2013 Research Grant.
Walsh is a student recipient, who conducted research on optical tools to evaluate cellular responses to anti-cancer drugs. The manuscript is titled “Optical Metabolic Imaging of Organoid Cultures Derived from Frozen Tissues to Predict Drug Response”. In her research, Walsh discovered that these tools can be used in living tumors to monitor drug efficacy, or in
