BE 417 Advanced Biomedical Engineering Optics
This course provides an in-depth look at advanced optical and microscopy techniques used in biomedical research. Six learning modules combine extensive recent literature reviews from leading journals, lectures on theory, and practical labs where students will manipulate the instruments, collect, computationally process, and analyze data, and demonstrate understanding through writing and presenting in the style of technical white papers. Potential topics include: polarimetry, arthritis and epithelial dysplasia; digital holographic microscopy and cancer; small animal imaging and preclinical research; plasmonic sensors and nanoparticle tracking; and endogenous cell and tissue optical signals.
