Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Radiology Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute at Columbia University Using Light to Image at the Speed of Life Abstract Light is uniquely capable of probing and changing the electron and vibrational energy levels of molecules. As a result, light can be used to spectrally discern a tissue’s chemical composition, excite […]

Department of Biomedical Engineering Department of Radiology University of Michigan School of Medicine Light plus Sound: Photoacoustic Imaging and Treatment Abstract Photoacoustic imaging (PAI), also referred to as optoacoustic imaging, is an emerging biomedical imaging technology that is noninvasive, nonionizing, with high sensitivity, satisfactory imaging depth and good temporal and spatial resolution. Like conventional optical […]
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 […]
