Development of novel instrumentation for engineering biomedically relevant structures, and for investigating cellular interactions on the microscopic scale. One example is atomic force microscope based nanolithography of collagen and its analysis by near field optical microscopy. Another example is the use of optical tweezers to investigate the forces that provide the structural integrity of cancers. We are interested in the effects of photodynamic therapy on the adhesion of cancer cells to each other and possible links to metastasis. We are also involved in a project on the use of photonic bandgap engineering and nonlinear optics to make continuous wave terahertz optical sources for biomedical imaging.
