Colleagues say that Mukhopadhyay is not the type to focus on one specific interest or area of research. Instead, he uses noble gasses—a group of inert, unreactive elements—as a tool to study a variety of geologic processes. “If he was just doing what he has been doing...
Kassis’ test looks to circulating tumor cells—any tumor, no matter how small, sheds tumor cells into the bloodstream. These cells typically die on their own, and are cleaned up by phagocytes—a type of white blood cell. The test examines whether markers of ingested tumor cells are detectable in the patient’s phagocytes. The results are then compared to an non-phagocytic white blood cells, such as lymphocytes. Kassis said that he conceived of this approach due to his background in immunology. While this field is typically far removed from radiology...
