Biomedical device innovation methodology: applications in biophotonics

Dynamics analysis of microparticles in inertial microfluidics for biomedical applications

Inertial microfluidics-based devices have recently attracted much interest and attention due to their simple structure, high throughput, fast processing and low cost. They have been utilised in a wide range of applications in microtechnology, especially for sorting and separating microparticles. This novel class of microfluidics-based devices works based on intrinsic forces, which cause micropa...

Time-Reversal Optical Focusing for Biophotonics Applications

I will discuss our recent work on the use of digital optical phase conjugation and ultrasound tagging to accomplish timereversal deep tissue optical focusing for fluorescence imaging and other applications. KEYWORD LIST phase-conjugation, optical time-reversal, deep-tissue imaging One of the primary challenges in biophotonics is that it is not possible to focus light tightly in deep tissues usi...

Fostering innovation and discovery in biomedical research.

IN TODAY’S SCIENTIFIC ERA, MOLECULAR RESEARCH HAS PAVED the way for the development of pharmaceuticals that are improving the lives of millions of patients. The discovery of the human immunodeficiency retrovirus as the causative agent of AIDS led to the development of reverse transcriptase inhibitors such as zidovudine. Monoclonal antibodies directed against tumor necrosis factor have changed t...
