The tasks for the group comprise achievement of world class scientific and innovative results, research for development of new techniques and methods in the field of ultrashort pulse optics for non-invasive monitoring and early diagnostics of structural and functional changes in human hard and soft tissues, as well as in cell cultures, testing of physiologically active biomolecules for presence of endogenous risk factors for disease development, pathological processes in a broad spectrum of tissues (epithelial tissues, intravascular disorders and bone tissues), and for evaluation of therapy effectiveness.

Research directions:

• Terahertz spectroscopy
• Terahertz imaging
• Terahertz tomography
• Development of methods for medical diagnostics
• Development of THz metamaterials devices
• Transformation optics
• Terahertz biophotonics
