Associate professor of inflammatory disease Irving Coy Allen
An associate professor at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine and Center for Engineered Health faculty, Irving Coy Allen is collaborating with researchers from the veterinary college and the College of Engineering to investigate tumor ablation using high-frequency irreversible electroporation, or H-FIRE.
H-FIRE is based on IRE, a promising cancer treatment technology developed by Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics, Rafael Davalos, that utilizes electric pulses to induce cell death.
The first of the team’s planned series of papers is published in EBioMedicine.
