We study of the interaction of light and tissue and seek deeper understanding of basic optical interactions in tissues as well as develop new optical and imaging techniques and deploy it in imaging and diagnostic applications. 

This research and development is conducted at the interfaces of the disciplines of optics, biomedical engineering, biology and clinical medicine and is conducted in close collaborations with researchers and clinicians in medicine and biology as well as industrial partners. Our activities include: monitoring of human tissue, as well as applications such as risk assessment of light in the interaction with tissue and spectroscopy of pharmaceutical materials.
