Welcome to Our Research Group

At Zhu lab, we are dedicated to advancing the frontiers of biomedical optics and radiation science to improve healthcare outcomes. Our interdisciplinary team specializes in cutting-edge research across four key areas: Dosimetry of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), Cherenkov Imaging, External Beam Dose Calculation and Photobiomodulation (PBM).

We explore the therapeutic potential of PDT to target and treat diseases such as cancer, leveraging light-activated photosensitizers to achieve precision and efficacy. Through Cherenkov Imaging, we harness the unique properties of Cherenkov radiation to develop innovative imaging techniques for real-time visualization in radiation therapy and beyond. Our work in photobiomodulation investigates the dosimetry of low-level light to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and manage pain, offering non-invasive solutions for a range of clinical applications. Additionally, our expertise in dosimetry ensures accurate measurement and optimization of radiation and light doses, enhancing the safety and effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.

By integrating advanced computational tools, experimental methodologies, and clinical collaborations, our group aims to translate scientific discoveries into impactful medical technologies. Join us on our mission to illuminate new pathways in precision medicine and improve patient care through the power of light and radiation.
