Biography

Prof Malini Olivo is a pioneer in the area of clinical applications of Photomedicine in optical photodiagnostics and Phototherapeutics. The focus of my laboratory is to investigate minimally invasive novel optical methods for cancer detection and therapy using biophotonics and nanotechnology. The novel optical methods being investigated are Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy and Imaging (SERS) for biosensing and bioimaging; SERS spectroscopy and imaging with Nanophotonics is being investigated for protein and biomarker sensing and tracking in cells and tissues both in-vivo and in vitro.  Endoscopic catheter based in vivo cellular imaging systems using in-vivo multiphoton confocal microscopy, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Photoacoustic imaging and NIR imaging are combined with novel bio-chemo- synthetic optical probes and their formulations.
