Our lab focuses on advancing optical and ultrasound imaging technologies for biomedical applications. One area of particular interest is photoacoustic imaging, which combines light and sound to achieve highly sensitive and high-resolution imaging of deep biological samples. This technique holds promise for diagnosing conditions like inflammatory arthritis, breast cancer, prostate cancer, liver diseases, eye disorders, bowel diseases, bladder cancer, and brain disorders. Additionally, we are exploring nanoparticle agents made from materials such as gold or organic hydrogel, which can enhance diagnostic imaging or deliver drugs. Beyond imaging, we are investigating innovative treatment methods that use light and ultrasound, such as ultrasound-enhanced photomechanical therapy.
