Research

Time-resolved fluorescence imaging and tomography

Optical Molecular Imaging Laboratory

Our laboratory is focused on developing and translating novel tools for quantitative optical molecular imaging of living subjects. The central technological focus of our lab is on developing time resolved imaging techniques for exploiting fluorescence lifetime contrast using disease targeted fluorescent contrast agents. We are developing and evaluating this technology in clinical and preclinical settings for cancer, cardiac disease, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease.

Molecular Imaging

Molecular imaging is a novel field that combines the global anatomical/physiologic scale of currently available in vivo imaging modalities with the detailed molecular/cellular scale of biochemistry and cell and molecular biology, with the goal of obtaining a visual representation and characterization of biological processes at the cellular/sub-cellular level in living subjects.
