Welcome to the Applegate Research Group

at the University of Southern California

About Us

Our research interests are broadly to develop novel biophotonic technologies for point-of-care diagnosis and monitoring of human disease as well as the basic scientific understanding of human disease. We have a particular interest in diseases of the ear and collaborate closely with the lab of John Oghalai, MD.

Researchers in the lab work on developing optical systems, electronics, and signal processing algorithms, using a wide range of modern engineering tools.
