About Me

Hinnerk Schulz-Hildebrandt

I'm Hinnerk Schulz-Hildebrandt,here you will find information about me and my work in the field of optical coherence tomography and biophotonics in general.

When I was a little boy, I was driven by curiosity and creativity. Nowadays It’s paired with passion for optical biopsy to get a better understanding about the human body, make diagnosis of major diseases better and control treatment.

Since 2010 I helped to further developed technology pushing intravital microscopy forward. Like optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Multiphoton microscopy (MPM).
Whether it’s theoretical work on image formation in OCT, bringing OCT to a new resolution level by developing microscopicOCT, combining OCT and MPM, perform preclinical and clinical trials or doing the next step by transferring benchtop setups into endoscopic probes no thicker than two human hairs, or 2 mm endoscopes imaging dynamic in-vivo with cellular resolution, all work I’ve done so far is focused on making optical biopsy better and better.

Do you love making new professional acquaintances? Me too!
Being in contact, talk about technology’s, be curiosity and creative is the major spurs of scientific discoveries.
