Gary Zabow

Gary makes small magnetic things designed to go into big magnetic things. Things like microfabricated contrast agents and nanosensors that help big NMR/MRI scanners see small details, for projects like tracking single cells in vivo or monitoring local physiological conditions.

Current Research Projects

Novel micro/nanofabrication techniques
Microfabricated contrast agents for cell labeling and tracking
Magnetic microstructures for multiplexed MRI
NMR-readable RF nanosensors for embedded sensing

Observation of iron oxide nanoparticle growth in magnetogels using magnetic resonance imaging

April 9, 2020

Author(s)

Samuel D. Oberdick, Stephen E. Russek, Megan E. Poorman, Gary Zabow

We show that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to visualize the spatiotemporal dynamics of iron oxide nanoparticle growth within a hydrogel network

Patterned Surface Energy in Elastomeric Molds as a Generalized Approach to Polymer Particle Fabrication

January 2, 2020
