Dr. Ntziachristos is an assistant professor in the Department of Radiology at Harvard Medical School, and director of the Laboratory for BioOptics and Molecular Imaging in the Center for Molecular Imaging Research at Massachusetts General Hospital. His research is focused on the development of novel optical imaging and spectral techniques that allow non-invasive or minimally invasive interrogations of function and gene-expression in tissues. Tomographic techniques are being developed for fluorescence imaging in whole tissues, intact animals and organs. This technology, when combined with appropriate fluorescent markers and probes, can enable molecular probing of disease and function and elucidate expression patterns in vivo. Dr. Ntziachristos has been named among the MIT TR100 World’s Top 100 Young Innovators (2004).
Education and academic career
Dr. Ntziachristos received his master's and doctorate degrees from the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Bioengineering in 2000.
