UC Irvine Beckman Laser Institute & Medical Clinic is a unique translational center that accelerates the development of technologies rapidly from the researcher’s blackboard to the laboratory benchtop and ultimately to the patient bedside.  Experts from the UC Irvine Schools of Medicine, Engineering, Physical Sciences and Biological Sciences collaborate in this interdisciplinary environment, breaking down departmental barriers to develop groundbreaking technologies aimed at transforming human health.

Researchers at the Institute are focus on optics, photonics and related technologies with the potential to revolutionize healthcare by enabling the early diagnosis of disease in its earliest stages, non-invasive patient health monitoring and discovering new therapies for previously untreatable conditions.

The diverse backgrounds and expertise of our research teams foster innovative concepts, computational models and cutting-edge optics and photonics technologies. These efforts result in life-changing diagnostic and therapeutic devices for patients. The research cores at UC Irvine Beckman Laser Institute & Medical Clinic work collaboratively to advance healthcare.
