<p><strong><의공학연구소 정례세미나></strong></p><p><strong>연자 : 강전웅 박사(MIT)</strong></p><p><strong>주제 : </strong><strong>Color of Disease : Biomedical Spectroscopy</strong></p><p><strong>일시 : 5월 12일 화요일 17:00~</strong></p><p><strong>장소 : 아산생명과학연구원 교육연구관 4층 회의실 </strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p><p>Since its establishment at 1985, MIT Laser Biomedical Research Center (MIT LBRC) has been solving biological and medical problems using optics and spectroscopy techniques. Based on intrinsic biological signals, spectroscopic tissue diagnosis has been successfully applied to various cancers (ex. breast, colon, oral and cervical cancers) as well as atherosclerosis. Clinical instruments equipped with custom-built optical fiber probes are transferred to clinics. Further, drug response and nano-materials interactions are monitored in the cellular scale.</p><p>This talk will introduce three research topics of the center.</p><p>1. Spectroscopic tissue diagnosis: Fast and reliable intraoperative tissue diagnosis is a critical component of successful cancer surgery in a variety of organ systems. Yet there continues to exist a significant clinical need for rapid and reliable intraoperative margin assessment of excised surgical specimens. Here, I will present spectroscopic tissue scanner for intraoperative cancer margin assessment.</p><p>2. Cell-nano interactions: Recently, nano-materials are widely used for targeting disease or delivering drugs. However, the fundamental cellular uptake mechanism was not fully understood due to the lack of proper tools. We have developed a custom-built Raman microscope to investigate this process.</p><p>3. Non-invasive blood glucose monitoring: With only increasing diabetic population, it is important to develop non-invasive glucose monitoring device. We have developed a transcutaneous blood glucose monitoring device and performed multiple human volunteer studies. Here, I will present the current status and future direction.</p><p>How to translate laboratory techniques to the medical field will be also discussed.</p><p><img src="/uploads/55408e1f2e5e2.JPG"></p><p><img src="/uploads/55408e2c111e7.JPG"></p><p><img src="/uploads/55408e34de2fe.JPG"></p>
