Congratulations to our MD student - Alex In - for being inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society! Alexander In news.vt.edu/articles/2024/ā¦

Results from two clinical trials investigating low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) for the treatment of pain have been published. In both trials, the teams from Noninvasive Ultrasound Lab at Fralin Biomedical Research Institute showed that LIFU could be an effective method for noninvasive neuromodulation of
