Stacy Copp, UC Irvine Materials Science and Engineering Title: Into the infrared: Programmable DNA-templated nanoclusters as designer probes for fluorescence imaging Abstract: Fluorescent nanoclusters are emerging as promising new labels for biological imaging, but biocompatible nanoclusters that are well-suited for such applications remain limited. We are investigating DNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters as promising materials […]
Optical Coherence Tomography: History, Evolution and Future Prospects Abstract Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an example of a biomedical technology that has been translated from research to clinical practice. OCT performs "optical biopsy", visualizing pathology in situ and in real time without excision or processing. The development of OCT would not have been possible without […]
From Light to Sound: Imaging, Treating, and Building Tissues at Depth Abstract Integrating light and sound, our research weaves engineering innovations that map, treat, and ultimately engineer living tissues at depthsunreachable by conventional optical methods—spanning scales from single cells to whole organs. (1) Seeing deep with clarity and color. Our photoacoustic imaging (PAI) converts optical […]
