The main direction of our lab is the development of novel optical spectral and imaging techniques for non-invasive screening, diagnosis and detection of disease, and characterization of biological and bioengineered tissue.
Our research spans from basic physics of light-tissue interaction to new technology development to the development of clinical instrumentation and to large-scale clinical trials.
The Backman research laboratory is located in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the McCormick School of Engineering.
