Ongoing projects

Part of Professor Leblond’s work

• Perfecting of powerful optical needle biopsy instruments
• Major breakthrough providing surgical teams with a powerful cancer-cell detection method base on Raman spectroscopy probe
• Technique developed of quantitative fluorescence guidance for surgeons, which relies on spectroscopic imaging corrected by means of fluorescent markers
• Tool developed  for eventual use in operating rooms is a hyperspectral imaging system for assessment of brain hemodynamic. Connected to a surgical microscope, it enables locating of epileptic foci, among other things
