Michael J. Fitzpatrick Professor of Engineering in the Edmund T. Pratt School of Engineering Professor of Ophthalmology, and Program Director for Biophotonics at the Fitzpatrick Institute for Photonics at Duke University New Optical Technologies for Real-Time Biomedical Imaging and Image-Guided Surgery Abstract Cutting edge optical biomedical imaging technologies adaptively control optical wavefronts and exploit spatial […]
Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University Problem-based research shortens the pathway to to clinical translation of light-based technologies Abstract Medicine is a problem rich environment where there is a critical need for new solutions that ease the life of the patient, the physician and the caregiving staff. For at least some of these problems, […]
Assistant Professor, Harvard Medical School Assistant Professor, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston Biological imaging with time domain fluorescence Abstract Molecular imaging combines the use of disease targeted contrast agents with advanced imaging techniques to visualize disease processes in whole living organisms from the small animal to the human scale. Optical techniques are emerging as promising tools […]
Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University Designing Solutions to Healthcare Needs With Computational Biophotonics Abstract Computational biophotonics pairs optical system design with the development of intelligent algorithms to extract meaningful data from interrogated tissues (often via an unintuitive computational image). With the recent dramatic advances in deep learning tools, there are many exciting […]
Assistant Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School Non-invasive Biophotonics for Personalized Medicine Abstract Personalized or precision medicine is an emerging paradigm in health care delivery that seeks to tailor medical treatment to the individual characteristics, needs and preferences of each patient. Biophotonic technologies are likely to play a significant role in realizing the benefits […]
Associate Researcher at the Beckman Laser Institute, UC Irvine Clinical skin imaging with multiphoton microscopy– current strategies and future directions Abstract The ability of multiphoton microscopy (MPM) to generate high-resolution 3D maps of specific tissue molecular compounds led to its widespread use in biomedical applications. MPM has been successfully employed in research labs for basic […]
Associate Researcher at the Beckman Laser Institute, UC Irvine Quantitative Phase Microscopy for the Evaluation of Cell Morphological Properties Abstract Cell morphology and dynamics are related to a variety of significant biomedical properties, such as the metastatic potential of cancer cells, disease related stiffness changes in red blood cells, pluripotency of stem cells, and cell-to-cell […]
Research Assistant at the Laboratory for Surface studies, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Light Scattering in Diffraction Limit Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging Abstract Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy is a noninvasive technique for chemical imaging of micrometer size samples. Employing an infrared source, a microscope coupled to a FTIR spectrometer, and replacing a single detector with an […]
Professor, Department of Bioengineering, UC Riverside Cancer Photo-Theranostics Abstract Nano-sized structures provide a platform for the delivery of imaging and therapeutic agents to tumors. When activated by light, these structures enable visualization of small tumor nodules and their destruction through a variety of photo-transduction mechanisms. My lab focuses on the engineering of nano-sized platforms derived […]
Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Oklahoma Stephenson Cancer Center at University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center X-ray-induced Acoustic Computed Tomography (XACT) Abstract X-ray computed tomography (CT) has proved tremendously useful for noninvasive medical imaging ever since its inception nearly 50 years ago. However, there remain two major limitations: radiation harm […]
