On October 30, Dr. Buckley received a Hidden Gem Award from the Emory University School of Medicine. These awards are given to faculty in recognition of their outstanding, but often unnoticed or unrecognized, contributions to Emory or beyond. “In addition to her excellent research activities, Erin Buckley served as co-chair of the Coulter biomedical engineering department’s Culture, Diversity, and Inclusion (CD&I) committee, and created new training modules focused on ‘Lab Culture’’, said Susan Margulies, chair of the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Emory University and Georgia Tech.  More information can be found here.

Our lab’s work in the application of optical imaging as a simple, low-cost tool for bedside assessment of brain blood flow was picked up by Physics World. Read more below!

This week our lab’s latest work came out in Neurophotonics – check it out! http://doi.org/10.1117/1.NPh.6.3.035006 Lead author Paul Lee demonstrates for the first time how Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy can be used to measure resting state brain blood flow in children with sickle cell disease. We envision this technology may be useful in identifying children at high risk of ischemic brain injury.
