Dr. Frank Willett is co-director of the Neural Prosthetics Translational Laboratory. The group develops brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to restore movement and communication to people with neurological disorders. Recent contributions include handwriting and speech-based BCIs that set new records for communication speed and accuracy in people with paralysis. More broadly, they are interested in computational approaches to understanding brain function and recordings, with a focus on how the human brain represents movement and language.
Dr. Frederick Dirbas's research interests are focused on improving therapy of breast cancer by refining existing diagnostic and treatment options, as well as introducing new methods that reduce side effects and improve quality of life for affected patients. Focuses include breast surgical oncology, accelerated partial breast irradiation, intraoperative radiotherapy, radiobiology of breast cancer, identification of markers of resistance to chemotherapy and radiation, and breast cancer stem cells.
