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.
We are now accepting CVs from outstanding graduate students and postdoctoral researchers who are interested in joining the Backman Lab. Please email b-keane@northwestern.edu.
