TAL THE SONIC FORGE
THERANOSTIC ACOUSTICS LAB

We forge sound into diagnosis and therapy.

TAL develops ultrasound that sees and treats with the same beam: imaging to find the target, focused energy to act on it, and imaging again to confirm the result.

Explore our research Open positions

One beam, a closed loop

  1. 01 · IMAGE Find the target Acoustic imaging maps anatomy, flow and tissue properties.
  2. 02 · FOCUS Plan the beam Wavefronts are shaped so energy converges only where it is needed.
  3. 03 · TREAT Deliver therapy Ultrasound releases the payload where it is needed: the core of our mark.
  4. 04 · VERIFY Confirm the effect Imaging again closes the loop, guiding the next pulse.
RESEARCH

Two programs, one platform

Theranostic ultrasound

Focused ultrasound and image-guided therapy, combining treatment and monitoring in a single acoustic system.

  • [PROJECT 1, e.g. microbubble-mediated drug delivery]
  • [PROJECT 2]
  • [PROJECT 3]

Acoustic imaging

Ultrasound and photoacoustic methods that reveal structure, function and the effects of therapy in real time.

  • [PROJECT 1, e.g. photoacoustic tomography]
  • [PROJECT 2]
  • [PROJECT 3]
