Paper and Book Chapter PublishedPaper on PAFUSion in the journal 'Photoacoustics' and a Review chapter in the book “Frontiers in biophotonics for translational medicine" have been published.

Paper on wave correlations published in Nature PhysicsIn collaboration with the California Institute of Technology and the Exzellenzcluster NeuroCure Charité Berlin, we discovered an new type of wave correlations inside biological tissue. We expect that this effect can be used to image objects hidden deep inside tissue.

Welcome to Colin Veenstra as PhD student, and Lot Jeurink as Master studentStarting from 1 September 2015, the Needless Needles project has been strengthened with two researchers: Colin Veenstra (PhD student) and Lot Jeurink (Master student)

Welcome to Sjoukje as Mederwerker Onderzoek - I year PhD studentSjoukje Schoustra has been appointed as Medewerker Onderzoek since 15 June 2015, on the Photoacoustic Mammography (PAMmography) project.

Congratulations Dr. Altaf HussainOn 20th of May 2015, Altaf Hussain successfully defended his PhD thesis entitled:“Towards optical absorption imaging by combining photoacoustic and ultrasound modulated optical tomography”

Pioneers in Health Care Innovation Fund vouchers for Nienke Bosschaart and Srirang ManoharTwo of the 8 vouchers of the joint innovation fund from the UT-MIRA, ZGT and MST, have been granted to BMPI.

New Member : Veni Laureate Nienke BosschaartNienke Bosschaart has started as a Veni laureate at BMPI. Her Veni project is titled: Blood analysis without pain in neonates. In this project, a noninvasive alternative will be developed for invasive blood sampling in preterm babies. Nienke will employ the technique low-coherence spectroscopy (LCS): a new spectroscopic modality that she developed during her PhD.

BMPI welcomes RedmarRedmar Vlieg is a Biomedical Engineering master student. In coming months, Redmar will work on the new setup for photoacoustic tomography of finger joints.

BMPI welcomes two new membersDecember 1st 2014: BMPI welcomes two new members. Last month, two new students joined BMPI for their Master assignments.

Gerwin Osnabrugge [Left] is a Biomedical Engineering master student. In coming months, Gerwin will investigate the anisotropic memory effect, which describes the similarity between different interference patterns created by light propagating through a scattering medium. Using this principle, he hope to image fluorescent structures beyond the ballistic regime. For detailed information about this project, contact Dr. Ivo Vellekoop (i.m.vellekoop@utwente.nl).
