tell a friend about TCSUH.NET
The TCSUH.NET brings together scientists, engineers and physicians from the University of Houston and throughout the Houston Area with a mutual interest in the development of novel biomedical sensors and instruments utilizing superconductor technology. The goal of TCSUH.NET is to encourage and facilitate invention, patenting and early stage development of medical devices, and medical software development.

The TCSUH.NET is a web-based information portal acting as a hub for the collection, storage and timely dissemination of information for the interests and pursuits of the entrepreneurial players, including faculty, students, and practitioners.

 HTS Biomagnetic Imaging and Nanomedicine Laboratory (Dr. Audrius Brazdeikis)

Click here to view details about MCG ProjectThe main focus of this Laboratory is to develop and investigate the use of Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID)-based sensors for new emerging biomedical imaging applications. The laboratory is currently engaged in various projects related to the ultra-low field magnetic imaging techniques, biomagnetic measurements of fetal neuromaturation, and magnetic sensing technologies for staging and treatment of cancer..

 HTS High Frequency Characterization and Biomedical Applications Laboratory (Dr. Jarek Wosik)

Click here to view details about MRI Project The main focus of this laboratory is to make scientific and engineering contributions towards the utilization at microwave- and radio-frequencies (rf) of HTS thin films and devices in bio-medicine and an improved understanding of high frequency properties of HTS materials at high dc and rf fields.

There is a promising niche market for both clinical and research applications of HTS single or phased array surface probes for high-resolution MRI. Especially successful development of multi-elements HTS phased array MRI coil may accelerate the recognition of HTS coils as the market applications. There could also be a moderate but significant market in biology research labs and clinics for low-field MRI using either cooled copper or HTS based MRI probes. [More... ]


 HTS Device Applications & Nano-Biophysics Laboratory (Dr. John Miller)

Click here to view details about Biophysics Project
We study and develop novel applications of sensitive magnetic sensors, known as Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs), and utilize other electromagnetic techniques, such as impedance spectroscopy and harmonic generation spectroscopy, for the study of biological systems. [More... ]
