Randy Carney is an Associate Professor in Biomedical Engineering at the University of California, Davis. He develops innovative platforms for early-stage cancer diagnostics, using spectroscopic methods to characterize circulating exosomes and extracellular vesicles (EVs). His research focuses on building advanced Raman spectroscopy and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tools to investigate a wide range of EVs, with a particular emphasis on sensitively and specifically identifying tumor-associated subpopulations. Projects in his lab include the single vesicle Raman analysis of EVs isolated from the biofluids of ovarian cancer patients, and the synthesis of chemical materials for next-generation plasmonic SERS nanoprobes integrated into microfluidic chip-based platforms to isolate EVs from clinical samples. Carney's work contributes to the fields of biomedical imaging, biophotonics, and biomaterials, driving advances in cancer diagnostics through innovative device development.
