Our main research interest is the development of label-free quantitative technologies to map biophysical properties (mechanical, optical, flow, electrical) of cells and tissues. They also address the need for real-time monitoring of 3D (spheroids, organoids) in vitro disease models, and the need to monitor tissue repair in pre-clinical studies. To this end, we currently investigate optical coherence tomography, impedance sensing and their combination into organ-on-a chip technologies with a focus on ophthalmological applications.

We currently have projects on:
- Optical coherence tomography for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
- Fourier-Domain optical coherence tomography
- Optical coherence microscopy - Noninvasive biosensors and quantitative methods in medicine and biology
- Electric cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS, http://www.biophysics.com/)
- Common-path optical coherence phase microscopy
– live cell optical fluctuations
