Research Focus
Dr. Giuliano Scarcelli's research lab focuses on developing advanced optical microscopy techniques to study the biomechanics of cells and corneal tissues. By utilizing a novel method called pulsed Stimulated Brillouin scattering, the lab aims to create non-invasive, high-throughput imaging tools to understand how mechanical properties affect biological processes. The ultimate goal is to enhance clinical practices in ophthalmology and tissue engineering by providing more accurate biomechanical assessments.
