Adam P. Wax is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. His research focuses on the development of optical spectroscopy techniques for early cancer detection and innovative microscopy interferometry methods. Wax's work involves studying intact, living cells to observe their cellular structure, organization, and dynamics in ways not achievable by traditional techniques. He has devised a set of novel spectroscopic techniques that measure spatial and temporal refractive index structures at sub-hertz and sub-wavelength scales. He has contributed significantly to the field with publications on advanced optical imaging techniques for dysplasia identification in Barrett's Esophagus and the use of indocyanine green for enhancing optical coherence tomography imaging in murine skin. Throughout his career, he has received various grants for research on point-of-care diagnostics for sickle cell disease and Alzheimer's disease, and he has been recognized for his contributions to optical coherence tomography and imaging sciences.
