In the Schultz Lab, we believe the new scientific breakthroughs will be enabled by state of the art chemical measurement. Our research focuses on developing new tools for identifying molecules relevant to biomedical diagnostics and other applications.\u00a0 To do this, we build and develop instrumentation that takes advantage of chemical properties to characterize complex samples.\u00a0 The interaction between lasers and molecules provides unique information for detecting and identifying the components in complex systems.\u00a0 Understanding the basic science involved in chemical detection and manipulating these interactions has led to breakthrough technologies with tremendous potential.<\/p>\n

CHEMICAL DETECTION AND IMAGING.<\/b>. The ability to visualize and detect molecules can provide new insight into their function, serve as biomarkers for disease, and illustrate how local changes and alter reactions.\u00a0 Label-free methods of detection can further elucidate native and complex environments in a non-destructive manner.\u00a0 We are interested in using vibrational spectroscopies, such as Raman and Infrared, to detect, monitor, and image chemical behavior in complex systems.\u00a0 We are developing instrumentation and methodology that enables trace detection down to single molecule levels and super-resolution imaging on the nanometer length scale.\u00a0 These advances in instrumentation and methodology are poised to address research questions that challenge current techniques.<\/p>\n
