Biography

Martin Fischer is a Research Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Duke University. His research focuses on exploring novel nonlinear optical contrast mechanisms in molecular imaging. Nonlinear optical microscopes allow for non-invasive, high-resolution, three-dimensional imaging in highly scattering environments such as biological tissue. He has established contrast mechanisms that include two-photon fluorescence and harmonic generation, which aid in imaging targets like autofluorescent markers and connective tissue structure. Fischer holds degrees from the University of Texas, Austin, where he earned his Ph.D. in 2001 and an M.A. in 1993. He is also a faculty network member of the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences.
