讲座内容简介:
Label-free optical microscopy is an emerging technology in biology and medicine to perform live imaging without affecting cell functions or in vivo imaging of human with no fluorescent staining. While Raman spectroscopy has been used for molecular characterization for cancer detection with high sensitivity, imaging speed is always an issue. By coherently exciting and detecting the chemical bond vibration in molecules, coherent Raman scattering (CRS) microscopy, with two modalities of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), has been used for label-free imaging of various biomolecules or drugs with high spatiotemporal resolution and high chemical specificity.
In this seminar, I will first review recent technical efforts that have greatly improved CRS imaging speed, detection sensitivity and spectral acquisition, and I will further present several label-free biomolecular imaging applications of the technology. In particular, transforming SRS microscopy for clinical use is a major direction of my research. The methodology of SRS label-free histopathology for rapid cancer detection and image-guided precision surgery has shown a great potential to impact on the current clinical practices of pathology and surgery.
His current research aims to establish an advanced biophotonics program focusing on coherent Raman and multiphoton microscopy technologies for imaging of living cells, in vivo animals and fresh human tissue at the most translational frontier for neuro-oncology and neuroscience studies.
