BEREZIN LAB

Our team includes chemists, biologists, and engineers. collaborators from Washington University labs, other universities, industry, and national labs 

Excited states are the cornerstone of a variety of chemical, physical, and biological phenomena. The ability to investigate and control excited states is one of the largest achievements of modern science and is the foundation of optical imaging. Our research interest lies in the investigation and application of molecular excited states for medical imaging, and environmental monito-ring. The lab currently searches for optical signatures of biological tissue using hyperspectral imaging from ultraviolet (UV) to shortwave infrared (SWIR), designs optically active probes to understand chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in vivo, and develops novel optical instrumen-tation for spectroscopy and imaging
