한국과학기술원(KAIST) 바이오메디컬 광학 연구실.
박용근 교수님이 이끄는 이 연구실은 빛 산란, 간섭계, 빛 조작을 기반으로 한 새로운 광학 방법을 개발하는 데 중점을 두고 있으며, 그 목적은
1) 생물학적 및 의료 샘플을 이미지화하고,
2) 질병의 물리학을 이해하며,
3) 질병을 진단하고 치료하는 것입니다.
KAIST 물리학과와 KAIST 연구소(KI)에서 주관하는 이 연구실은 기술 개발, 기초 생물학 연구, 임상 응용의 경계를 넘나드는 고도로 융합적인 연구를 수행하고 있습니다.

Biomedical Optics Laboratory in Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).
Directed by Prof. YongKeun (Paul) Park, the lab is focused on developing novel optical methods based on light scattering, interferometry and light manipulation for the purpose of
1) imaging biological and medical samples,
2) understanding the physics of diseases, and
3) diagnosing and treating the disease.
Hosted by the Department of Physics and the KAIST Institute (KI), the lab is performing highly interdisciplinary research at the interface between technology development, basic biological studies and clinical applications.
