Welcome to the Pratt Laboratory
We are an engineering-driven cancer research laboratory. Our mission is the design of liquid biopsy assays for non-invasive cancer monitoring. We work at the interface of engineering, chemical biology, and oncology.

Congratulations to Colin Skeen and Maren Eltze on their successful completion of the BME Department’s Prospectus Defense! The topics discussed in their seminars have been presented at: C Skeen, P Sitaram, J Sexton, S Tsai, ED Pratt, “Optimization and Expansion of Digital PCR Multiplexing for Rare Mutation Detection,” in Proceedings of the Biomedical Engineering Society Fall Meeting (BMES), Seattle, WA, 2023.
Congratulations to Hanhminh Nguyen on completing her BS in Biomedical Engineering at Boston University. She will begin a master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering at BU this fall. Well done!
Congratulations to Terry Chen on receiving summer research funding from STEM Pathways as well as a Distinguished Summer Research Fellowship!
Prof. Pratt will co-chair the BMES Annual Meeting Cancer Technologies Track with Prof. Madeleine Oudin. The meeting will take place in Baltimore, Maryland, Oct 23-26 2024.
Prof. Pratt gave an invited talk at the Department of Developmental, Molecular and Chemical Biology and Program in Genetics, Molecular and Cell Biology joint seminar series. Her talk was entitled “Integrating Liquid Biopsy and Multimodal Technologies for Cancer Monitoring.
