My research interests focus on optical techniques for non-invasive biomedical imaging. Optical modalities can provide high-resolution imaging of both structural (e.g. tissue boundaries down to cellular dimensions) and functional properties of tissue (such as blood perfusion and oxygen content) which makes them ideally suited for diagnostic purposes.Current topics of investigation include photoacoustic tomography, diffuse optical tomography, fluorescence molecular tomography, optical coherence tomography, ultrasound, and nuclear (positron) detection and imaging. The main applications targeted by my research are detection and monitoring of cancer for the breast and ovary. Combined with new targeted probes based upon nanoparticles and receptor proteins, these techniques offer the potential for molecular specificity.
