Biography
Professor Berger's area of interest is biomedical optics, specifically spectroscopic diagnostic techniques. With recent advances in optical technology, it is now possible to perform sensitive chemical tests using light rather than reagents or electrodes. His present research is centered upon Raman spectroscopy of oral bacteria, single-cell Raman spectroscopy and near-infrared spectroscopy of hemodynamics in the human brain.
