Controlling Light to Reimagine Clinical Diagnostics Abstract Current diagnostic testing faces several challenges, including limited multiplexing capabilities, a lack of quantitation information, the need for centralized laboratories, and/or cold chain custody. In this talk, we highlight the use of photonic resonators and plasmonic enhanced sensors as tools to address these critical gaps in diagnostics. Both […]
Pitfalls in Clinical Gastroenterology Abstract Gastroenterology is a multi-organ medical specialty pertaining to the treatment of the entire alimentary tract. I would like to introduce biomedical concepts and current treatment and diagnostic modalities of common gastrointestinal disorders and in turn discuss the current limitations of technological and clinical limitations to spark collaboration and ideas for […]
Low-coherence Biophotonics Imaging for the Brain Abstract This talk will highlight our recent efforts in exploring the brain using low-coherence light. We will discuss two scenarios: intraoperative assessment of brain cancer infiltration in patients and real-time imaging of dynamic neural activities in freely behaving rodents. In the first scenario (clinical translation), we developed a color-coded […]
