Bio:

Turgut Durduran is an ICREA Professor and leads the Medical Optics group at ICFO. His research focuses on using near-infrared light to non-invasively monitor deep tissue blood flow and oxygenation. He develops diffuse optical imaging technologies for applications in neurology, oncology, and critical care. His team has created portable devices for bedside monitoring in stroke and cancer patients. They’ve pioneered hybrid techniques like diffuse correlation spectroscopy and time-resolved spectroscopy.
Durduran collaborates with hospitals and biomedical centers globally, including in the U.S. and Europe. His work has enabled real-time brain monitoring in neonatal and adult intensive care units. He combines physics, engineering, and clinical science to bring optical tools into medicine. He’s published extensively and leads EU-funded projects like BabyLux for infant brain monitoring. Durduran is recognized as a leader in translating photonics into life-saving clinical technologies.
