Harnessing Physiological Forces to Drive Stem Cell Fate & Function Abstract I will be elaborating about how physical cues are crucial to embryonic development, morphogenic events, and tissue organization, but […]
Illuminating Biomarkers of Stroke with Diffuse Optical Spectroscopies Abstract Our research group specializes in the development and application of diffuse optical spectroscopies to study the brain. These non-invasive, light-based tools […]
Vasculopathy in COVID-19 and Pathogenesis of Cutaneous Vascular Malformations Abstract SARS-CoV-2-associated vasculopathy under hyperlipidemia and pathological progression of congenital vascular abnormalities in Port Wine Stains. In the first part, we […]
Light + Sound: Peering into Brain Function and Metabolism Abstract Exploiting the optical absorption contrast of blood hemoglobin, photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is an emerging technology for label-free imaging of the […]
Lasers in Nano-Surgery and Nano-Medicine: Plasmonic Nanobubbles Abstract To improve the safety and efficacy of standards of care in diagnostics and treatment of clinically-challenging diseases including cancer, we combine the […]
Applications of Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging in Thyroid Eye Disease Abstract Spatial frequency domain imaging provides access to multi-spectral absorption and scattering information of biological chromophores and water to provide […]
Tunable photonic nanostructures for laser pulse control and dynamic imaging Abstract For decades, nanofabrication has been the driving force behind the transformations in electronics. Light-based devices currently experience a similar […]
Opportunities to Improve Clinical Outcomes with Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) in Lower Extremity Revascularizations Abstract Peripheral vascular disorders are prevalent and mounting health conditions, particularly in light of the aging population. […]
Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurship at UCI Abstract This seminar will discuss “technology transfer”, the process by which UCI (1) protects intellectual property (inventions and software) developed by its faculty, staff, […]
