Biomedical Optics and Its Applications
Anna's Lab

Assoc. Prof. Anna Yaroslavsky directs the University's Advanced Biophotonics Laboratory, where the major focus of the research is on the structural and functional characterization of pathology. Other research directions that are pursued in her laboratory include

Integration of multiple optical imaging and spectroscopic approaches (i.e., elastic scattering, polarization imaging, fluorescence and fluorescence polarization imaging and spectroscopy) to monitor biochemical and physiological processes in real time on spatially different scales
Modeling of light propagation in and interaction with biological tissues, liquids and cells
High-precision quantitative measurements of optical properties of tissues and liquids
Development of all-optical and milti-modal image-guided intervention techniques.
