Thank you for visiting FOIB Lab’s website. Here is what’s new in our lab:
Dr. Tankam gave a research seminar at the Department Physics and Astronomy, University of Rochester, on October 23rd, 2024

Time to apply to the Graduate Program in Optical Imaging and Vision Science at Indiana University Bloomington for Fall 2025
Ph.D. positions are available in Dr. Tankam’s Frontiers of Optical Imaging and Biology lab at Indiana University School of Optometry. The group focuses on developing cutting-edge optical imaging systems, including cellular-resolution optical coherence tomography and fluorescence microscopy for imaging the living eye in humans and transgenic mice. The group uses a translational approach to study disease mechanisms; from the fundamental understanding of biological processes involved in normal and pathological conditions in mouse models to the early diagnostic and monitoring of human disease progression. The laboratory seeks highly motivated students from various backgrounds including physics, optical engineering, optical design, instrumentation, biomedical imaging, bioengineering, image processing, or a related discipline. Interest in vision science is a plus.

The application deadline is January 15.
Student positions are part of the IU Vision Science Graduate Program. The Program includes a highly active group of multidisciplinary scientists, mostly from within the School of Optometry but also from Physics, Intelligent System Engineering, Neuroscience, Psychology, Cognitive Science, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Biology. Research areas include imaging, optics, neuroscience, visual development, visual impairment and correction, visual psychophysics, biology, and biophysics, and involve both basic science and translational research. Students are financially supported through a combination of grants and teaching activities.
