Adam Wax is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. His research focuses on the development and application of novel optical spectroscopy and microscopy techniques for early cancer detection. Dr. Wax has developed a set of innovative spectroscopic methods to measure spatial and temporal structure at sub-hertz and sub-wavelength scales, utilizing low-coherence interferometry (LCI) to detect scattered light. His applied techniques have been pivotal in cell biology experiments, allowing for the non-invasive examination of cellular structures, such as sub-cellular organelles and components of epithelial tissues. Notably, his work demonstrates the ability to monitor changes in cell volume in response to environmental factors continuously. Dr. Wax has made significant contributions to both the physics and biomedical engineering fields, and he is recognized as a Fellow by multiple esteemed organizations, including the National Academy of Inventors and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering. He has also participated in the National Science Foundation's Faculty Early Career Development Program.
