Elizabeth Kanter Ph.D. Candidate 5824 Stevenson Center Nashville, TN 37235 elizabeth.kanter@vanderbilt.edu
Education: Biomedical Engineering and Mathematics, Vanderbilt University, 2003 M.S. in Biomedical Engineering, University of Arizona Research: Diagnosis of Cervical Dysplasia Using Raman Spectroscopy: Elizabeth is currently working on validating the use of Raman spectroscopy to detect cervical dysplasia.  This technique would greatly reduce the number of biopsies taken and could alleviate addition trips to the doctor. Personal Bio: Elizabeth grew up in Northern Kentucky but loves living in Nashville.  She is a huge Vanderbilt sports fan and goes to almost all the games.  She have the cutest dog named Reggie, he is a Beagle-Pekingese mix.
