Main objective of the division is to take up and ensure high standard research in the field of nanomaterials for Bionanophotonics. The lab’s main areas of research themes include development and application of biomaterials, mainly bionanomaterials in the field of MR, CT and optical imaging and photodynamic and photothermal therapy. It is a comparatively new lab which also mentors the need of all laser based activities of the institute, both therapeutic and diagnostic and other biomedical application. We also work in the use of Spectroscopic techniques and spectral mapping and imaging for the early diagnosis of various diseases and the classification and discrimination of different pathologies using these techniques. These works focus on the hypothesis that the concept of optical pathology will be practical in the near future.
