Leavesley to present on hyperspectral imaging for tissue diagnosis

Silas J. Leavesley, Ph.D., professor of pharmacology and a member of the USA Center for Lung Biology at the Whiddon College of Medicine, is the guest speaker for the USA Department of Pathology's upcoming Research Seminar Series. He is also a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at USA. 

Leavesley will present "Hyperspectral Imaging for Tissue Diagnosis: Seeing Cancer in a New Light" at noon on Thursday, Oct. 20, in the Strada Patient Care Center conference room. 

His research focuses on the development and application of optical imaging and illumination technologies to provide novel biomedical and clinical imaging and detection methods. Specific interests include the application of hyperspectral imaging and analysis methods to microscopy, endoscopy, and small-animal fluorescence imaging. His current research efforts focus on translation of hyperspectral imaging technologies to real-time clinical diagnostic devices with a large improvement in detection sensitivity and specificity, and a low cost.
