Our laboratory goal is to develop quantitative thick-tissue optical imaging platforms for pre-clinical and clinical applications. We focus on three main areas: (a) design new optical tomographic imaging instrumentation; (b) develop new reconstruction algorithms for quantitative volumetric imaging; and (c) investigate optimal experimental and theoretical parameters for functional, molecular, and dynamic optical imaging.
