About

Regine Choe received her BS in physics from the Pohang University of Science & Technology, Korea in 1996, and PhD degree in physics from the University of Pennsylvania, in 2005. After finishing her postdoctoral work at the University of Pennsylvania, she joined the biomedical engineering department of the University of Rochester as an assistant professor, in 2011. Her research is focused on the development of diffuse optical methods for the clinical application of breast cancer diagnosis and therapy monitoring. Research OverviewDiffuse optical methods based on near-infrared light illumination have a great potential for detection and therapy monitoring of disease by providing information on several unique deep tissue functional/metabolic parameters. In our laboratory, we assess and improve
