About Us

We harness light and sound waves to image structural, functional and molecular information of living subjects. Medical devices using optical and ultrasound technologies are non-ionizing (safe), affordable, portable (e.g.,mobile health), and can be realized in various forms, including wearable devices for continuous health monitoring. We solve a biomedical imaging/sensing problem by developing and integrating multidisciplinary approaches such as, imaging principles (theory), instrumentation (hardware), molecular probes (biology, chemistry, and materials), image reconstruction and artificial intelligence algorithms (software).

We are currently developing novel multimodal (optical, ultrasound, and photoacoustic) and multiscale (wearable/endoscope/microscope/macroscope) technologies capable of imaging features as small as organelles and as big as organs. These tools are then integrated with biomarker specific molecular targeting approaches to further improve sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing cancer/neurological/cardiovascular diseases in pre-clinical and clinical studies.
