Sunitha Nagrath
Chemical Engineering
Robotics
Professor Nagrath has used graphene oxide, a material originally developed for semiconductors, to build chips so sensitive they can detect a single cancer cell amid a billion blood cells. That opens the possibility of quickly and non-invasively detecting certain tumor-based cancers - including breast, lung and pancreatic cancer - long before a tumor shows up on a CT scan.
