My research project involves dealing with superficial lymphatics focusing in on the clinical issue of lymphatic oedema, which is the swelling in tissues due to the abnormal accumulation of tissue fluid brought on by the dysfunction of lymphatics in the area. This is a very common and debilitating condition affecting millions of people around the world. The issue is further compounded by the high costs and rarity of current diagnostic methods. The goal of my project is to develop of a low-cost device to measure and assess lymphatic dysfunction.”
