Research Interests
Biomedical Imaging, Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy, Image-Guided Therapy and Device Development
The long-term objectives of my research program are to advance the performance in terms of accuracy, reliability, robustness, analysis speed, and sensitivity of Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI), which will help the technology become the core of new devices and applications to solve problems in the health care space. We have a multifaceted “methods”, “applications”, and “device” development program to achieve this goal. In particular, we are interested in the utility of MSI as a rapid pathology tool to provide intraoperative surgical guidance. Industrial collaborations are an integral part of our activities, and we work very closely with clinicians as the end users of MSI technology.
