Current Projects | Disseminations
Research in the Biophotonics Laboratory at the Marquette University and Medical College of Wisconsin Department of Biomedical Engineering focuses on developing cost-effective optical solutions for use in cancer detection and treatment monitoring. Recent innovations include the deep UV fluorescence microscope, the integrated fiber-optic probe for laser tumor ablation, and the Smartphone Microendoscope, a device that facilitates cost-effective and non-invasive detection and professional evaluation of cervical cancer for any organization with access to a smartphone.
The Biophotonics Laboratory is developing an intraoperative breast tumor margin imaging device with both large margin coverage and microscopic resolution that can accurately and efficiently evaluate an entire surgical specimen.
