Collaborative research is directed towards development of cutting-edge and translational biophotonics technologies that interface and bridge spectroscopy especially, Raman spectroscopy and clinical diagnostic. Raman spectroscopy is a powerful tool for quantitative analysis, driven primarily by its exquisite molecular specificity and ability to perform real-time measurements in a minimally invasive, non-destructive manner. Further, Raman spectroscopy based confocal imaging allows visualization and quantitative characterization of events at subcellular, cellular and multi-cellular length scales.
Ongoing projects include:
(*) Multimodal Spectroscopic Tissue Scanner for diagnosis of ex vivo surgical specimens (*) Detection of long-term glycemic marker [ PDF ](*) Monitoring cell-nano materials interactions [ PDF ](*) Spectroscopic guidance in middle ear surgery(*) Core needle biopsy and Raman spectroscopy
