Biological systems are extremely complex in their organization and function, and require a multidisciplinary approach to understand their fundamentals and develop/apply new technologies for intervention. My focus is on novel optical technologies for the investigation of biological and nano-materials on micro- to nano-meter scale, as well as in the ultrafast temporal domain. My goal is to foster a collaborative research and teaching environment for solving important problems in the biological and biomedical fields. For the future, I envision my lab to be strategically equipped to approach new challenges in the biology and biomedicine. 1. Superresolution microscopy for pathology. This is a new project, started approximately one year ago, with the aim of better visualization (with higher resolution) of pathology specimens. Since the invention of the microscope the spatial resolution that could be achieved with optical microscopes was limited by the Abbe's diffraction limit. Within this law, the smallest objects that can be resolved are as small as the half the wavelength of the light, i.e., about 300nm for visible light.  In the past decade, several techniques aimed at improving the spatial resolution of optical microscopes have emerged. These techniques (called super-resolution optical microscopy techniques) utilize either patterned illumination or photo-physical processes in molecules, and can, in certain situations, resolve objects as small as tens of nanometers. This project makes use of a super-resolution microscope that is based on structured illumination for analysis of blood and other types of cells. The spatial resolution that can be achieved with this microscope is approximately 100nm, and allows for the morphological investigation of fluorescently labeled structures within cells, such as platelets, granules, and organelles. 2. Rapid tissue diagnosis with optical methods and digital coloring is another project that we started recently and is aimed at rapid tissue diagnosis in the operating room. The long time delay and discrepancies in diagnosis due to artifacts in preparation of frozen and permanent sections comes at the expense of the patient’s health and finances. To enable rapid assessment of surgical margins and biopsied specimens using this method, there is a need to use optical methods to investigate fresh tissue. Rapid fresh tissue diagnosis via fluorescent imaging offers a faster alternative with minimal artifacts. In this project we try to expand the repertoire of rapidly staining dyes that can provide good contrast and specificity in fresh tissue, as well as explore the possibility of imaging unstained tissue.  3. Label-free microscopy and spectroscopy for tissue and cellular characterization. This project is split into several subprojects.  (a) One such subproject is aimed at the development of an ultrafast optical switch for temporal separating the Raman and fluorescence signals and performing Raman measurements in the presence of the stronger fluorescence background. This technique allows for the measurement of Raman spectra in the presence of a strong fluorescence background and opens up new potential applications of Raman spectroscopy for biological research such as (i) non-invasive characterization of the chemical composition of the endogenous fluorophores in bacteria, cells and tissues, (ii) understanding cellular processes and diseases such as cancer, vascular or neurodegenerative diseases by using natural markers, (iii) developing new probes that can be used both as fluorescence and Raman labels, (iv) noninvasive medical sensors for blood analytes such as glucose sensors for diabetes treatment. Moreover, it is likely that this technique will have a significant impact on related fields such as analytical chemistry, biomedicine, pharmacology, forensics, food safety, agriculture, biofuel research, environmental monitoring, and bio-defense. (b) Another related subproject is compressive sensing. The goal is to improve the signal to noise ratio of fluorescence/Raman detection by a factor of at least 10, and the acquisition time by up to two orders of magnitude in spectroscopic measurements of biological and chemical samples. This will be achieved through a form of compressive spectroscopy that utilizes a digital micromirror device (DMD) and single point detector. Light dispersed from a spectrograph is imaged onto the face of a DMD. By turning individual DMD pixels on or off, the DMD can be used as an element with programmable spectral transmission. Light reflected by pixels in the on position is directed to a large-area point detector connected to a lock-in amplifier. Light from off pixels is sent to a beam dump and discarded. In this way, the measurement made on the point detector is a product between the input spectrum and the transmission curve defined by the pattern projected on the DMD. By projecting patterns such as regression vectors from multivariate algorithms such as principal components analysis and partial least squares regression, the DMD-based spectrometer performs direct measurements of projections of the spectrum onto these regression vectors. The system has a signal to noise advantage over traditional CCD-based detection systems because a large fraction of the input photons are sent to a single bucket detector, rather than being dispersed among many detector elements (pixels). Additionally, the fast response of the point detectors means that high-speed lock-in amplification can be used to further increase the signal to noise and decrease measurement times far below that allowed by CCD detectors. The device will be used to (i) understand protein function via colocalization studies by enabling spectral unmixing in fast spectral FRET measurements, (ii) help discriminate different cell types by fluorescence or Raman-based sorting, (iii) quickly monitor cell activity by rapid acquisition of principal component scores, and (iv) accurately quantify analyte concentrations in biofluids. 4. Biosensors and assays. In the past 4 years, we continued to explore the sensitivity offered by Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) for the development of label-free biosensors for direct detection of proteins and other small molecules. The technique utilizes immobilized metallic nanoparticles that are functionalized with aptamers for specific target molecules. This method is simple, selective, robust and cost-effective. We are currently in the process of determining the optimum experimental parameters (i.e., the set of experimental conditions that will yield reproducible spectra, maximum enhancement, better protein binding) for the technique, which we will then use to determine its limit of detection. Since several aptamers against small molecules, cells and viruses, are available, the application of the technique will not be limited to detection of biomolecules. The methodology can be optimized for any aptamer-analyte complex making it useful for the detection of medical biomarkers, environmental pollutants, as well as biological and chemical threat agents. In addition, the SERS substrates can be functionalized with different aptamers allowing multiplexed screening and detection. The simplicity of the developed label-free detection technique would be further utilized for on-chip and real time detection by combining with nano- and micro-scale platforms. The results obtained in the past two years on this project were published in 5 papers. 5. Point of care technologies. The goal of this project is the development of a cell phone-based platform for mobile health. NIH has recently identified global health as being one of the major opportunities in the future. This includes the development of point of care technologies that can wirelessly transmit information. We are adding microscopy and spectroscopy capability to cell phones which, combined with the ability to process data using recognition algorithms for the identification, classification and search of objects of interest, will constitute a significant step towards the use of cell phones as diagnostic devices. Cell phones are the ideal platform for this goal, since they are technologically advanced and equipped with many features that rival larger scientific devices. They are already ubiquitous devices in every day’s life in urban and remote areas, as well as in developed and underdeveloped countries. Potential applications of this device include, but are not limited to telemedicine, remote or in-the-field pathology, field biology, and education. The results obtained in the past two years were published in one paper and were highlighted in numerous media outlets such as Wired Magazine, MIT Technology Reviews, MSNBC, NPR, Good Day Sacramento, etc..
