Biomedical Optics is a fast growing area of research in medicine. Optical methods for diagnostic and functional imaging, detection, and manipulation of cells and tissues encompass inputs from several fields including optical physics, biophysics, biochemistry, engineering, biology, medicine, mathematics, and computer science. The research activities of Biomedical Optics Laboratory concentrate on development of new methods and techniques (such as Optical Coherence Tomography) for structural and functional imaging and biosensing of tissues and cells. Some of the research projects include: Noninvasive functional and structural imaging of embryonic development, Optical coherence elatography, noninvasive optical sensing of micro-retroreflectors in turbid media and tissue, Magnetic microbeads detection using OCT as a labeling method for implantable biosensor development, OCT-based drug diffusion biosensor and early diagnostics, OCT-based biometric system, Noninvasive detection and assessment of gas emboli and DSC, and Cancer imaging.
