Javier JoProfessor, PhD, University of Southern California - Los Angeles, CA
Dept: Electrical and Computer Engineering
Academic & Research Interests: The overall mission of Dr. Jo’s research program is to develop optical sensing and imaging technologies that will impact how we: (1) study pathophysiological mechanism underlying major human diseases; and (2) clinically manage patients suffering from these diseases. While most academic labs in the field of biomedical imaging focus on either instrumentation development or computational imaging science, Dr. Jo leads a very unique research program dedicated to ad-dress major unmet needs in both biomedical research and clinical practice through the design, development, and validation of both optical spectros-copy/imaging instrumentation and computational tools and methods for the nondestructive, non or minimally invasive morphological, molecular and physiological characterization of biological and engineered tissues at multiple spatial and temporal scales. He has received over $8 million in ex-ternal research funding as a PI/Co-PI from the National Institute of Health (NIH), the American Heart Association (AHA), the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT), and the Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF). Desired Interdisciplinary Collaborations: Medicine, dentistry, oncology, dermatology, cardiology, computer science.
