Research: Our lab develops novel devices and applications using state-of the art nanoplasmonic and photonic sensors. We also develop new materials to expand the utility of these sensors. Our vision is to bridge the fields of engineering and medicine for next-generation diagnostic technologies. Based on physics and basic in nature, our ultimate goal is clinical translation.
 

Biography: Dr. Hyungsoon Im is an Associate Professor of Radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota in 2011. He is a recipient of the NIH Pathway to Independence Award and NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award Fellowship from the National Cancer Institute. His research focuses on developing next-generation sensing technologies to better understand the make-up of human diseases and changes associated with disease progression and therapy. His laboratory exploits have uniquely designed nanomaterials and sensors to quantitatively analyze biomarkers and overcome clinical unmet needs. He has co-authored more than 50 peer-reviewed journal publications, which have been cited more than 6000 times.
