Research Description

Excimer Lasers for Medical Applications. The laser research lab has pioneered the development of pulse ultra-violet of excimer lasers for biomedical applications. We continue to investigate cardiovascular, ophthalmologic, orthopaedic and neurosurgical application of this technology. Biologic spectroscopy, the use of spectral data to
identify and classify tissue is another major focus of our research. We employ multiple techniques including time resolved spectroscopy, hyperspectro-imaging, photo bleaching and laser attenuation spectroscopy for the study of biologic systems. Clinically, we are actively involved in the development of minimally invasive imaging and surgical tools.
