Biophotonics is an emerging field in biological sciences that uses light to study tissue, with end uses in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Advances in this field will benefit from realistic models that mimic the mechanical (elastic) and optical (how it scatters and absorbs light) properties of body tissues. At present, very simple models are used to test new technologies, or studies are done on animals or people. Our research program seeks to develop new materials that address the need for better tissue models to support further technology development.

生物光子学是生物科学中的一个新兴领域，它利用光来研究组织，最终用于疾病的诊断和治疗。该领域的进步将受益于模拟身体组织的机械（弹性）和光学（如何散射和吸收光）特性的现实模型。目前，使用非常简单的模型来测试新技术，或者对动物或人进行研究。我们的研究计划旨在开发新材料，以满足更好的组织模型的需求，以支持进一步的技术发展。
