Alkris Warren's Company Details
Changing the way the world looks at living tissue.Welcome to the PhotoMedicine Labs (PML) in the Department of Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo. PML is interested in designing and developing novel engineering systems for clinical and pre-clinical biomedical applications. These new technologies aim to provide clinicians and researchers with novel capabilities and information that is presently difficult/impossible to obtain with existing techniques.Our research philosophy is translational research from bench to bedside. Therefore, we built the foundation of PML on translational research activities. In that end, we run a truly interdisciplinary research program. We research, design, and develop our entire hardware and software systems in PML. This includes but not limited to research activities in state-of-the-art optical imaging systems, photoacoustic, nonlinear optics, optical sensing, fiber-optics, data acquisition, electronics, software development, image processing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, ultrasound, instrument control, and analytical and computational modeling. We also design, perform, and analyze significant pre-clinical and clinical experiments and activities. PML currently consists of several laboratories (Discovery Lab, Imaging Lab, Machine learning and image processing lab, In-vivo Lab, Pre-clinical lab, and Pathology lab). We are working to double our research activities by the end of 2021.Our group continually strives to maintain an extremely dynamic, respectful, intellectual, fun, and creative environment. We are passionate about our research and enjoy working together as a team. Our goal is to bring talents and good ideas together to make a difference and contribute to our society. We understand that this requires hard work, knowledge, creativity, teamwork, efficiency, honesty, and focus.
