Lab OverviewsMark Johnson, Ph.D.Professor of Biomedical EngineeringDr. Johnson is internationally known for his work on ocular biomechanics, particular with regards to the pathogenesis of glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. Studies in his group currently involve a bioengineering approach that utilize perfusion studies, atomic force microscopy and theoretical analysis in combination with use of high-resolution morphometry and finite element modeling.Hao Zhang, Ph.D.Associate Professor of Biomedical EngineeringDirector of Graduate StudiesProfessor Zhang's research interests are in biomedical optics: photoacoustic microscopy, multimodal imaging, photon-tissue interaction, retinal imaging, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal aging. The Functional Optical Imaging Lab (FOIL) at Northwestern University is dedicated to develop novel optical, ultrasonic, and electrical imaging techniques for biomedical research and clinical applications. The research work in FOIL is highly interdisciplinary. It involves knowledge and expertise from electronics, optics, lasers, ultrasound, imaging processing, programming, mechanics, physiology, anatomy, and clinical science. Hence, FOIL is setting up collaborations in a wide spectrum nationwide.Wendy Murray, Ph.D.Associate Professor of Biomedical EngineeringAssociate Professor of Physical Medicine and RehabilitationDr. Murray's current research largely consists of biomechanical models that accurately represent the mechanical actions of the upper extremity muscles. Her goal is to better understand and, ultimately, to help improve function of the disabled upper limb. Her work has relevance over a broad scope, including basic motor control, the design of control systems for exoskeletons and upper limb prosthetics, restoration of hand and arm function following cervical spinal cord injury, rehabilitation of hand and arm function following stroke, orthopaedic interventions for osteoarthritis, and prevention of injuries in baseball pitching.Luay Almassalha, Ph.D.Postdoctoral Fellow, Backman Lab The main direction of Backman's lab is the development of novel optical spectral and imaging techniques for non-invasive screening, diagnosis and detection of disease, and characterization of biological and bioengineered tissue. His research spans from basic physics of light-tissue interaction to new technology development to the development of clinical instrumentation and to large-scale clinical trials.
