Kenneth Bader is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on biomedical acoustics and the development of therapeutic ultrasound techniques, specifically in non-invasive treatments for cardiovascular and cancerous diseases. He utilizes acoustic cavitation alongside combinatorial ablation and enhanced drug delivery strategies to address challenging pathologies resistant to conventional interventional techniques. Bader's work also involves the assessment of bubble activity and resultant changes in tissue structure, employing multi-modal imaging approaches including diagnostic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. He has developed analytic and numerical models for bubble dynamics to gain insight into the mechanisms of action of therapeutic approaches. His current research topics include chronic thrombus ablation using histotripsy and thrombolytic drugs, passive cavitation MR imaging, and histotripsy-enhanced drug delivery, as well as sonochemical reactions for cancer treatment.
