Biography

Professor Andreas H. Hielscher leads the Department of Biomedical Engineering at NYU Tandon School of Engineering and directs the Clinical Biophotonics Laboratory (CBL). His research focuses on developing optical imaging technologies relevant to precision medicine. The CBL aims to establish optical tomography as a viable biomedical imaging modality and translate these technologies into clinical practice. Hielscher's team is engaged in developing imaging hardware and software to continuously monitor physiological parameters such as oxygen saturation and hemoglobin concentrations. They apply emerging technologies in clinical and preclinical studies, addressing conditions such as breast cancer, arthritis, and peripheral artery disease. Hielscher's collaborative efforts with clinicians aim to enhance biomedical optical imaging technology, thereby improving patient outcomes in precision medicine.
