Yookyung Jung, PhD
Research Fellow
My research interest is developing novel optical imaging methods and applying them to biological imaging. Current research focuses are nerve imaging by coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy and tissue clearing. I am additionally working to visualize the treatment response of 3D in vitro tumor models using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and segmentation analysis routines.
     
 
Oliver Klein
Research Technician II
Oliver J. Klein's research focus is in the development of multi-tiered, imaging-based screening platforms utilizing in vitro 3D tumor models of treatment-resistant disease for the development and optimization of photodynamic therapy agents as well as to correlate tumor microenvironmental factors such as hypoxia and acidosis with poor treatment response in patients with resistant metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer.

Alexander Nichols
Graduate Student
I am a PhD student jointly enrolled in the Harvard University Program in Biophysics and the Harvard/MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST). My research interests include development of methodologies for making oxygen measurements in avascular tumors and single cells, synthesis of novel optical probes, development of intravital imaging and cell-tracking techniques, and construction of new optical imaging tools.
     
 
Emmanouil Rousakis, PhD
Research Fellow
My current research focuses on the development of brightly phosphorescent, oxygen-sensitive probes for imaging tissue perfusion and oxygenation status non-invasively, as well as the development of cell-permeable analogues for visualizing hypoxia and monitoring treatment response in vitro in complex tumor models.
