Tissue Optics

Exploring fundamental technologies for regenerative medicine and functional tissue creation through micro-processing and cell manipulation using light.

Clinical & Translational Biophotonics

Clinical & Translational Research

We are developing the methematical modeling of light-tissue interactions and simulation of a series of treatment process for effective translation of novel optical technology into the clinical field.

Optical Properties of Biological Tissue

Optical Properties of Biological Tissue

With employment of a double integrating sphere spectrometric system and an inverse Monte Carlo technique, we are measuring tissue optical properties (absorption coefficient μa, scattering coefficient μs, refractive index n, and scattering anisotropy factor g) in the visible and near-infrared wavelength range.

Optical Tissue Phantom

Optical Tissue Phantom

We are developing biological phantoms mimicking optical property of interest tissue for quantitative and highly-reproducible evaluation of light therapy and diagnosis.
