Abstract
The Biomedical Optics Laboratory is devoted to the development of new uses of lasers and light in medicine and biology. The research topics fall into two categories: (1) LASER/LIGHT-TISSUE INTERACTIONS where the photon affects the tissue, which covers therapies, surgical techniques and tissue machining applications, and (2) OPTICAL DIAGNOSTICS where the tissue affects the photon, which covers diagnostics such as imaging, spectroscopy, characterization and detection.
Refreshments will be served half an hour before the start of the colloquium in Weniger 305.
