Optical diagnosis is an emerging field because it allows researchers and physicians to use light as therapeutic and diagnostic tools in a fast and non-invasive manner. The focus of Dr. Bi's research is to develop various optical techniques for disease diagnosis, therapy response evaluation as well as guidance of surgery. Special interest is in the application of Raman spectroscopy in clinical medicine. Dr. Bi's current research is centered upon: In vivo Raman spectroscopy (inflammatory bowel disease, cancer diagnosis); Raman imaging for pathogenesis; Bone quality evaluation in metastasis and disease; Transcutaneous Raman Spectroscopy; Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy; Endoscope - Representative radiographs. In addition, Dr. Bi is constantly interested in developing multifunctional imaging instrumentation for improved health care and biomedical research.
