leap lab 

(Light Engineering and Applied Photonics) 

The research focus of LEAP Lab (Light Engineering and Applied bioPhotonics) is interdisciplinary in nature, primarily in the field of Medical Optics. It addresses the challenges in biomedical diagnostic devices, including microscopic and macroscopic investigations of cells and tissues. The current emphasis of the group is on developing novel optical tools for intraoperative cancer margin assessment, intraoral cancer probe, and transvaginal imaging probe.

Thrust Areas: 

1. Multispectral Diffuse Optical Imaging (MDOI) based Intraoral Imaging Probe for Oral Cancer Diagnosis 

2. Multispectral Diffuse Optical Imaging (MDOI) based Transvaginal Imaging Probe for Cervical Cancer Diagnosis

3. Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy based Optical Probe for Breast Cancer Margin Assessment

News:

15/03/2024: The team for developing GynoSight, a multispectral transvaginal imaging probe was awarded 2nd Prize in Oral Presentation – Faculty Research in Progress at the 9th Annual JIPMER Research Day, 2024

05/08/2023: Congratulations to Karthika J. and Team as she will present her first conference oral presentation on multispectral intraoral imaging probe and Aromal Vijayan, Ramya and Team as they will present their first poster on polarization-based glare reduction technique in colposcope at Frontiers in Optics in Washington 2023. 

21/07/2023: Glad to update that Rameesa Rafi and Aromal Vijayan (Summer interns '23) have been selected for the Student Leadership program by Optica, along with Frontiers in Optics conference in Washington, USA. The program will support their travel, accommodation, and food.
