About

Dr. Yao directs the Biomedical Optics and Functional Imaging Laboratory focused on optical technology for advanced imaging of the retina, neural tissues and endocrine cells. Two major projects are the functional intrinsic optical signal (IOS) imaging of retinal physiology and super-resolution ophthalmoscopy (SRO) of retinal morphology. The functional IOS study is to investigate endogenous optical biomarkers correlated with retinal physiological dynamics and dysfunction. This effort will layout the necessary foundation to develop new instruments for functional evaluation of retinal physiological condition at unprecedented resolution. The SRO project uses virtually structured detection (VSD) to pursue resolution-doubling in retinal ophthalmoscopy. This will reveal subtle distortions in retinal morphology at early stage of eye diseases or pathology.
