Bladder Cancer Brachytherapy

About
This inflatable device holds the bladder in a consistent shape for accurate placement of radiation sources while shielding surrounding organs. It addresses a major limitation in bladder cancer treatment by enabling targeted brachytherapy despite the bladder’s variable geometry. Inserted and removed via the urethra, it offers a less invasive option for patients unsuitable for bladder removal. This approach could reduce recurrence, improve comfort, and open new pathways for intravesical drug delivery

I am a third-year graduate student in the Physics and Biology in Medicine graduate program at the University of California, Los Angeles. I currently do research in the lab of Dr. Ricky Savjani at UCLA. Our work integrates data science and clinical informatics to advance translational research, with the goal of uncovering patterns in real-world data that translate to meaningful clinical discoveries.
