Tomasz P. Wrobel

Associate Professor
NSRC SOLARIS
Jagiellonian University

My research interests are centered on using the knowledge about inherent chemical composition of biomaterials to predict their behavior and function in terms of diseases. More specifically I look at cells, tissues and bio-fluids in a biomedical setting to improve existing diagnostic methods for cancer detection using chemical imaging in the form of vibrational spectroscopy, i.e. infrared (IR) and Raman imaging. Currently I am responsible for construction of the first polish IR beamline (SOLAIR) at the Solaris Synchrotron.
