William Qaqish, B.S. (Former Intern)

Academic Qualifications

B.S., Biomedical Engineering, Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, OH, USA), 2011

Biography

William Qaqish graduated from Case Western Reserve University in May 2011 with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering focusing in Bioelectricity. He researched novel techniques in treatment of infant esophageal atresia, specifically magnamosis, for his senior project. As a research student at the Cleveland Clinic, he utilized an engineered high-gradient quadrupole magnet flow sorter system to extract red blood cells from culture suspensions. Currently enrolled as a M.S. student, his research interest focuses on clinical detection techniques using ultrasound to diagnose early stage cardiovascular disease.
