Fighting cancer by degrees
Published Aug 14, 2019
Bailey Surtees (right), a 2017 Hopkins graduate and research assistant in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, is using her passion for biomedical technology to lead a team working to increase the survival rate of breast cancer patients in South Africa. The team, co-led by BME research assistant Clarisse Hu, recently published a paper in PLOS One about its low-cost cryoablation device, which treats cancer tissue by freezing it.
