The Berezin Lab 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 instrumentation for spectroscopy and imaging. Our research interest lies in the investigation and application of molecular excited states — the cornerstone of a variety of chemical, physical and biological phenomena.
