Pushing The Limits Of Bubble Science
with Virginie Papadopoulou, Ph.D.
The mission at UNC is to accelerate the pace of diving research by tailoring ultrasound tools to refine the acquisition and analysis of images related to decompression bubbles. We collaborate with many multidisciplinary researchers and actively work to publish research openly. It is also crucial to inspire and train the next generation of researchers working in this field.
DAN Internship Program
DAN is committed to encouraging young minds interested in dive medicine, research, and safety to pursue their interests through the DAN Internship Program. During the three-month internship, interns are given opportunities to learn, develop and enhance their professional skills all while promoting dive safety and furthering DAN’s efforts to help divers in need of emergency medical assistance.
