Olivia Tong
Olivia Tong completed her Bachelor of Science (Honours) in combined Biology and Psychology from the University of Victoria. She is currently in the second year of her Masters studies in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, under the supervision of Drs. Jeffrey Carson and Mamadou Diop. Dr. Carson's group is developing a non-contact scanner that can accurately monitor the blood oxygen level inside the tumours during chemotherapy. She is working on a component of this scanner that can capture the location and shape of the breast surface. The results from this project will lead to a new diagnostic method that can quickly identify the most effective chemotherapy drug for each breast cancer patient receiving chemotherapy.
