ICTER Research Groups

Parallel Interferometry and Computational Optics

Our group focuses on the development of advanced optical methods for functional imaging and sensing. Our mission is to strengthen and continue Polish traditions in Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) and diffuse optics.

Physical Optics and Biophotonics

The research in our group can be seen as a perfect interplay between physics, biology and chemistry. We are focusing on developing imaging techniques and using them in many biological and chemical systems.

Integrated Structural Biology

Research aims to elucidate the mechanisms of vision, particularly proteins of the phototransduction pathway and the visual cycle, at an atomic and molecular level.

Image-guided Devices for Ophthalmic Care

We seek to research novel techniques and develop instrumentation to address unanswered questions in vision science and unmet needs in ophthalmology and optometry.

Ophthalmic Biology Laboratory

We use electrophysiology for investigating the system of local and distant communication between populations of neurons responsible for information processing.
