Laser-Direct-Write (LDW) Technologies for Biomedical Applications

We explore the use of lasers to create sensors that can be used by a patient’s bedside to test for an underlying disease or a health condition.

Microbiology

We work on topics like patient treatment regimens, catheter design and management, and surgical instrument decontamination.
