Research & Clinical Interests
Dr. Delaney is focused on the use of ultrasound to trigger and/or augment drug delivery and therapies in various applications. Her main area of research involves the development of an ultrasound-triggered prophylactic drug delivery system for preventing infection in spinal fusion surgery, but is also involved in ultrasound-triggered augmentation of chemotherapy delivery.
