Biomedical Optics studies the basic principles of interaction between light and biological tissues, cells and molecules and develops new technologies for use in basic research and clinical applications.

Optical techniques as laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and fluorescence systems, and their related measurement probes, are adapted and translate for use during the neurosurgery.

A detailed assessment of various parameters in the same point is crucial for a better understanding of the physiology in the smallest vessels in the body. That leads to better diagnostics and treatment within e.g. diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Changes in the smallest vessels in the body, the microcirculation, affect oxygen and nutrient delivery to the cells. A new optical technique gives the opportunity to find relations between dysfunctional microcirculation and cardiovascular disease

Combining optical techniques to synergistically elevate non-invasive sensitivity (optical biomarkers) and specificity (localization of embedded tissue properties) in a single imaging platform.

Extracting more subtle, detailed information from in vivo tissue scattering to investigate cellular and extracellular structures in wound healing and skin cancers.

A fundamental shift in early medical device development that replaces animal testing with physical proxies that are constructed specifically to mimic human tissue over a range of pathological states.

We develop methods and instrumentation that advance spectroscopy, light transport modeling, and imaging of tissue; creating quantitative, non-invasive tools for the clinical detection, monitoring or treatment of skin diseases and injuries.

The design and development of low-cost, handheld devices toward seamless integration in to clinical practice, reducing translational barriers novel technologies and methods

In this project, OCT’s potentials for intra-operative and postoperative (laboratory) pathology diagnostics are investigated.
