Fluorescence Imaging

Figure: Nature Methods 9(6), 615–620 (2012). doi:10.1038/nmeth.2014.
The Laboratory develops advanced fluorescence imaging methods for pre-clinical and clinical imaging, leading in 2011 to the first clinical translation of a targeted fluorescent agent for optical molecular imaging of patients. Focus is on the development of quantitative, real-time and tomographic methods that go well beyond conventional “photographic” fluorescence image...(more)

Translational Optoacoustics

Figure: CBI
Our group focuses on developing technology and applications on the combination of optical and optoacoustic microscopy in order to deliver contrast and imaging abilities not available in optical microscopes today. (more).
Biology Core Facility

Figure: CBI
The group is centered around provision and development of cell lines and animal models for optoacoustic imaging. Our portfolio includes transgenic cancer cell lines stably expressing iRPF720 and tyrosinase (both labels provide good contrast in optoacoustic imaging), systems for retroviral gene transfer and various chemical labels for primary cells....(more)
