ABSTRACT
At the Dr. Samkoe’s Lab, we are developing molecular fluorescence imaging for quantitative assessment of in vivo molecular expression of proteins for cancer diagnosis, therapeutic monitoring and surgical resection. Our research takes a biological systems engineering approach to medical imaging by studying how microscopic molecular information can be interpreted at a macro-scale for cancer identification and diagnosis. Other research interests include photodynamic therapy, spectroscopy, physical chemistry of fluorescent molecules and the pattern recognition of tumor tissue.
