The Biomedical Optics Laboratory for Diagnostics develops optical imaging and computational analysis technologies for biomedical diagnostics and preclinical research. The laboratory focuses on the design, implementation, and validation of imaging systems that can provide non-invasive, quantitative, and longitudinal information from biological tissues, tumor models, and biomedical samples.

Main research areas include mesoscopic fluorescence molecular tomography, biomedical optics, optical system design, image reconstruction, medical imaging, Raman spectroscopy, label-free diagnostics, cancer imaging, and translational biomedical device development. A major focus is the development of imaging platforms that can monitor tumor growth, treatment response, and residual disease in three-dimensional tumor models and preclinical settings.

The laboratory combines optical hardware, light-tissue interaction models, inverse problem solving, image analysis, and biological validation. The long-term aim is to translate optical measurement principles into robust biomedical technologies that can support diagnostics, drug testing, disease modeling, and personalized medicine research.
