- Recruiting ECE/BME MASc/PhD students!
Welcome to the Biophotonics Group at the University of Toronto!
Our research interests include developing biomedical imaging systems and optical bio-sensors based on semiconductor devices and nano-structures, and their application to bio-medical diagnostics, in vivo imaging, and study of bio-molecular interactions. The goal of our work is to integrate sensor components into miniature functional bio-sensors and apply them to novel biology and bio-medical applications. As such, our research is interdisciplinary and include semiconductor device physics, optics, micro- and nano-fabrication, chemistry and applications in tissue imaging, biomedical diagnostics, cancer studies and neurobiology.
