Research field
Biophotonics
Biophotonics applies optical technologies—lasers, fiber optics, and photonic devices—to study, diagnose, and treat biological systems. Super-resolution microscopy techniques like STED and STORM have shattered the classical diffraction limit, enabling visualization of individual protein complexes inside living cells. Optical coherence tomography provides real-time, micrometer-resolution imaging of tissue architecture for ophthalmology and cardiology. Photodynamic therapy uses light-activated compounds to selectively destroy tumors. Light-sheet microscopy enables whole-brain imaging at cellular resolution. Biophotonics sits at the convergence of physics, biology, and medicine, generating transformative clinical and research tools.
