Department(s)/lab(s): Bioengineering and Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences | Conolly Berkeley Imaging Systems Lab @ UCB
Summary:

Conolly builds Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) scanners, a tracer-based imaging modality that detects the nonlinear magnetization response of superparamagnetic nanoparticles with high sensitivity, safety, and zero background signal from tissue, alongside compressed-sensing MRI methods.

Department(s)/lab(s): Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering | UCL Healthcare Biomagnetics Laboratory @ UCL
Summary:

Pankhurst directs the UCL Healthcare Biomagnetics Laboratory, developing magnetic nanoparticles and instrumentation for clinical use: AC-susceptometry-based sentinel-lymph-node localization for breast cancer surgical staging (commercialized as Endomag), magnetic particle imaging, and magnetic hyperthermia therapy. He is a participant in the Q-BIOMED quantum-biomedical-sensing hub, connecting magnetic biosensing with the hub's broader quantum-diagnostics translation effort.
