About us
Laboratory of Applied Biophotonics (LAB) is a multidisciplinary research team focused
on the development of optical imaging methods for application in biology and medicine.
Our research is aimed at a wide variety of problems/scales, from single cells up to
tissues and organs. We excel in optics, electronics and data processing. We develop our
solutions starting from theoretical considerations, through careful design and
optimization, up to construction of fully functional prototypes. We field test our prototypes
in cooperation with biologists and medical doctors, and we have a long experience in
commercializing our technology.
Selected imaging technologies developed in LAB:
- Optical Coherence Tomography (spectral domain, swept source, full-field)
- Optical Coherence Velocimetry
- Optical Coherence Angiography
- Optical Coherence Microscopy
- Optical Coherence Spectroscopy
- Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy
- Eye tracking (retinal and iris)
- Fluorescence Microscopy
- Holography
Research topics:
Design, construction and programming of biomedical devices for in-vivo imaging of cells
and tissues with high spatial and temporal resolution using advanced photonic methods
with coherent and incoherent light.
Selected applications of imaging methods developed in LAB:
- Retinal and corneal OCT.
- Functional imaging of retina (angiography, Doppler)
- Imaging eye pathologies with OCT
- Speckle-free coherent imaging
- Functional imaging of rodent brains during ischemic stroke and during recovery
- Dye-free imaging of cellular dynamics over long periods of time (up to days)
- Ultrafast retinal eye tracking for image stabilization in OCT and other retinal
imaging and stimulation - Ultrafast retinal eye tracking for research in human visual or neurological
impairments - Label-free molecular sensing
- Bioimaging with nanoparticles based contrasting agents
