About the lab
Quick facts
- Year founded: 2007
- Director: Xavier Intes, Ph.D.
- Graduate Concentration: Biomedical Engineering
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 dynamical optical imaging.
Open Positions
- Position: Postdoctoral Research Scientist
We have a postdoctoral position available immediately. We are looking for candidates with experience and interests at the intersection of molecular optical imaging, drug delivery assessment and artificial intelligence to work on NIH/NIC funded projects monitoring in vivo drug-target engagement using macroscopic fluorescence lifetime imaging (more information and position posting can be found here).
