Anuradha Ramoji

Dr. Anuradha Ramoji serves as a Research Group Leader at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz-IPHT) in Jena, Germany, heading the Applied Biospectroscopy and Bioassays research group within the Research Department of Spectroscopy/Imaging. Her work bridges photonics, biochemistry, and clinical medicine through advanced spectroscopic techniques, particularly Raman spectroscopy, with applications spanning infectious disease diagnostics, hematology, and inflammatory conditions.

Dr. Ramoji's research program centers on developing label-free spectroscopic methodologies for biomedical applications. Her expertise encompasses:

• Raman spectroscopy for cellular and molecular diagnostics
• Heme-protein interaction studies in hemolytic disorders
• Non-linear imaging techniques for tissue morphology analysis
• Spectroscopic characterization of immune responses
• Computational methods for spectral analysis and device calibration
• Applications in SARS-CoV-2 research, ulcerative colitis, sepsis, and chronic fatigue syndrome

Her publication record demonstrates consistent innovation in translating spectroscopic technologies into practical clinical tools. The interdisciplinary nature of her work is evident through collaborations across hematology, immunology, gastroenterology, and nanomedicine, addressing conditions from post-COVID syndrome to fundamental biochemical processes like heme binding. Her recent focus includes developing stable Raman devices for clinical deployment and investigating microvascular alterations in chronic fatigue conditions.

Dr. Ramoji collaborates extensively with clinical researchers and institutions across Germany, contributing spectroscopic expertise to:

• SARS-CoV-2 infection mechanisms and immune responses
• Intestinal barrier function in ulcerative colitis
• Sepsis immune cell profiling
• Hemolytic disorder pathophysiology
• Targeted nanocarrier design for liver-specific drug delivery
• Post-exertional malaise in chronic fatigue syndromes
