Harnessing the power of light to develop methods to understand, diagnose, & treat diseases. The unique strength of the Achilefu Lab is the ability to develop complete solutions from conception, implementation, and validation to human clinical care. We aim to change the way medicine is practiced.
We have moved into our new BME building. UT Southwestern, UT Dallas dedicate joint research facility for biomedical engineering!
Molecular optical imaging has been the cornerstone of diagnostic imaging for centuries. However, recent advances in optical materials and technologies have transformed this field into a powerful tool for cancer detection and treatment. These resources are now facilitating precision cancer surgery and reducing disparities in health outcomes.
Samuel Achilefu is leading both fundamental and applied research in science, engineering, and medicine.
