Nanoplatforms for Optical-Versatile Applications

Welcome to Nanoplatforms for Optical-Versatile Applications (NOVA) LAB @MGH&HMS!

NOVA Lab is dedicated to developing light-powered technologies for precision biomedical applications through cutting-edge research in theranostics, fluorescence bioimaging, and plasmonics. By integrating nanoscience with optical strategies, we develop multifunctional platforms that enable advanced diagnostics, targeted therapies, and precise modulation of biological systems, including the immune and nervous systems. Our emphasis on versatility ensures that these technologies are not only powerful but also scalable and adaptable across diverse biomedical applications.

Our multidisciplinary team brings together expertise in biology, chemistry, photonics, and translational science to develop optical-responsive tools that monitor, modulate, and treat biological processes with high precision and minimal invasiveness. Through these efforts, NOVA Lab seeks to uncover new insights into the role of inflammatory diseases and to establish transformative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for human health.
