Research Interests
- Biophotonics/Biomedical Optics
- Functional optical imaging using coherence gating (OCT) and confocal gating techniques
- Photoacoustic imaging
- Laser Doppler, speckle and intrinsic optical signal imaging
- Optical biopsy and functional imaging in tissue engineering
- Light propagation in biological tissue
By exploring the properties of light, tissue, and their interactions, the Wang lab invented, discovered or pioneered optical microangiography, full-range complex Fourier domain optical coherence tomography, optical clearing of biological tissue, optical elastography, phase-sensitive optical coherence vibrometry, multifunctional nanoparticle contrast agents and their applications in imaging tissue morphology, tissue blood microcirculation (brain, retina, cochlea, skin, muscle etc), tissue mechanical properties and embryonic heart development.
