معرفی
Yingtian Pan, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Stony Brook University's School of Medicine. His research focuses on developing innovative biophotonic imaging techniques for noninvasive clinical diagnosis, particularly in early cancer detection, neuroimaging, and studying drug-induced brain changes. Dr. Pan leads the Biophotonics Laboratory, where his team develops laser scanning endoscopes using optical coherence tomography (OCT), laser Doppler flowmetry, and fluorescence imaging.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Biophotonics (1992), National Laser Technology Laboratories, China
- M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering (1988/1985), Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China
- Research Fellowship in Biophotonics (1993–1996), Medical Laser Center of Luebeck, Germany
Research Interests:
- Development of subcellular-resolution imaging tools for optical biopsy
- Neurovascular coupling studies using optical techniques
- In vivo assessment of cocaine's effects on cerebral blood flow and addiction mechanisms
- Medical imaging applications in urology and tissue engineering
Key Contributions: His innovations include OCT-based endoscopes for bladder cancer diagnosis and self-supervised learning algorithms for motion artifact correction in neuroimaging. His work has been featured in PNAS, Journal of Neuroscience, and Molecular Psychiatry, with patents on subsurface blood flow imaging and endoscopic devices.
Academic Roles:
- Professor at Stony Brook University since 2008
- Prior appointments at University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University
- Teaches courses in biosensors, biomedical engineering, and bioimaging
