Dr. Achilefu, a professor of Radiology and Biomedical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, recently won the St. Louis Award for 2014 due to his creating a technology that will enable surgeons to literally see any existence of cancer cells in a patient’s body as they are being operated on. The technology comes in the form of goggles–specifically with night vision capabilities–that will aid in detecting cancers in the body.

See Dr. Achilefu’s explanation of his innovation in the news clip below:

With his work guaranteed to revolutionize the ever-growing medical field, our youth will be able to look to people such as Dr. Samuel Achilefu for inspiration as they embark on careers in fields that can truly make a positive change in the lives of many, most notably the lives of their Brothers and Sisters in Black Society.
