My current research focuses on the devolopement of optical imaging techniques to probe sources of contrast in skin diseases. I am using techniques devoloped in our laboratory such as laminar optical tomography, as well as more conventional techniques, such as camera based imaging and multiphoton microscopy, to study skin.
