"My research focuses on using optical imaging techniques such as optical coherence tomography, fluorescence microscopy, and optoacoustic spectroscopy for imaging biological tissues and embryos. My research utilizes these techniques to understand the impact of maternal alcohol consumption on embryonic development, as well as the impact of gene mutations on fetal cardiac development and function."
