device that brings cervical cancer screening to women in places where traditional equipment is out of reach developed by nimmi ramanujam the robert w carr professor of biomedical engineering at duke university and partners at the duke school of medicine the technology pairs portable imaging with artificial intelligence and digital health tools it supports earlier detection consistent quality control and screening in low resource and rural settings watch the video 26 countries where cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women world health organization 2026 8 000 women in

technologies top 10 biomedical engineering ranking for undergraduate and graduate programs u s news world report approximately 1 out of 5 people worldwide will develop cancer in their lifetime about half of them will die from the disease cancer research is research that will touch every single one of our lives duke engineering s historic strengths in emerging bioimaging technologies and uncommon literal closeness to world class physicians provides a unique recipe for finding and treating cancer earlier than ever before engineering new approaches for cancer treatment these faculty are developing new technologies and therapies to detect tumors target cancer cells and harness the immune system to fight disease see how this engineering driven approach is shaping cancer research across
