Professor Michael Ladisch: Scientists use Doppler to peer inside cells, leading to better, faster diagnoses and treatments of infections
“This directly measures whether a cell is pathogenic,” Ladisch said. “If the cells are not pathogenic, the Doppler signal doesn’t change. If they are, the Doppler signal changes quite significantly. Then you can use other methods to identify what the pathogen is. This is a quick way to tell friend from foe.”
