Biophotonics and Biomedical Imaging: Understanding biology, physiology, and human disease

Biophotonics and biomedical imaging span disciplines, spatial scales, and time scales, forming the foundation of many scientific endeavors. BU BME biophotonics and biomedical imaging faculty are innovators in new microscopy, spectroscopy, clinical imaging modalities, optical modulation, phototherapy, and imaging probes, with applications spanning a swath as wide as biomedical engineering itself.

Biophotonics and biomedical imaging at the BU Photonics Center are tightly coupled to the fields of neuroscience, cancer biology, and clinical medicine among others, and faculty collaborate broadly across our institution and beyond.
