Our group’s mission can be summarized as “Waves for Life Sciences”: we exploit the properties of different types of waves to characterize biomedical features. Providing invaluable structural and functional information of the inside of the body, the methods we develop may find application in pre-clinical or clinical trials. The methods are based on electromagnetic waves, such as X-rays (Biomedical X-ray Physics) or light in the visible regime (Light Propagation), or acoustic waves (Ultrasound Imaging), or a combination of both (Optoacoustic Imaging).
