Image: Purdue University physicist David Nolte is developing a biodynamic imaging system that could improve the care of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Nolte\'s system can rapidly evaluate the outcome of different chemotherapy drugs on patient biopsies (obtained during diagnosis), which could ensure patients get the chemotherapy treatment that would be most effective on their specific tumor. Right now, the system is being used at the Indiana University School of Medicine to evaluate the impact of experimental chemotherapy drugs on tumor cells derived from more than 30 osteosarcoma patients. It has also been used in clinical and preclinical trials. (IMage Credit: Purdue University/Kelsey Lefever)
