Utilizing Positron Emission Tomography to Detect Functional Changes Following Drug Therapy in a Renal Cell Carcinoma Mouse Model
DownloadSpring 2013
Sunitinib is currently the first line drug therapy for metastasizing renal cell carcinoma (RCC). It has been shown to have a profound effect on tumor angiogenesis leading to modifications of the tumor’s microenvironment. Tumor hypoxia plays an important role in the metastatic potential of a solid...

Variation in in vivo prefrontal GABA, glutamate and glutamine – effects of reproductive factors, cortisol and major depressive disorder
DownloadFall 2017
Variations in glutamate and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), excitatory and inhibitory amino acid neurotransmitters in the brain, have been linked with cyclical changes across the menstrual cycle and in stress and stress-related mental disorders. We used 3.0 Tesla proton magnetic resonance...

Wildfire Fuel Mapping with Convolutional Neural Networks for Remote Automated Exposure Assessment
DownloadFall 2023
While beneficial to the natural environment in many cases, wildfires become hazardous when they intersect with the built environment. As such, there is an ongoing effort to understand the fire environment, the fuels it contains, and the way that wildfire interacts with the built environment. In...
