<h2><strong>Biography</strong></h2>
Dr. Shuliang Jiao received his Ph.D from the department of Biomedical Engineering of Texas A&amp;M University in 2003. After graduation he joined the faculty of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute of University of Miami as an assistant professor and later the Department of Ophthalmology, Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California as an associate professor. He moved to Florida International University in the Fall of 2012. He is currently a professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. His research interest is mainly focused on the development of innovative technologies for imaging and treatment of blinding eye diseases. His current research includes the technological development and application of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Photoacoustic Microscopy, and Multimodal Functional Imaging for the early diagnosis and treatment monitoring of major blinding diseases like age related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. By the summer of 2018 he holds 7 patents, one of which was licensed to a leading ophthalmic technology development company, 3 patent applications, and several invention disclosures. His research has been continuously funded by the NIH through major research grants. He has also received funding from the department of defense, the Wallace Coulter Foundation, and the JDRF.
<h2><b>Research</b></h2>
With aging of the population vision loss is becoming a major public health problem worldwide. According to NEI, blindness or low vision affects 3.3 million Americans age 40 and over and it is projected to reach 5.5 million by the year 2020. In US most types of blindness and low vision are related to retinal diseases. The diagnosis and treatment monitoring for retinal diseases highly rely on in vivo imaging technologies.

The long term goal of Dr. Jiao’s research is to help prevent and cure blindness through technological innovations. Dr. Jiao’s lab, the Ophthalmic Imaging Lab, is dedicated to the development of novel optical technologies for 3D high resolution imaging of the anatomy and functions of the eye in vivo. The optical imaging technologies the lab currently focuses on include Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Photoacoustic Microscopy, and Multimodal Imaging. These technologies serve as tools for the research and diagnosis of diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. They also provide powerful tools for monitoring the functional regeneration of photoreceptors in regenerative medicine such as stem cell therapy.

</ol>
OCT is a low-coherence interferometer-based noninvasive medical imaging modality that can provide high-resolution sectional images of biological tissues. Since it was first reported more than two decades ago, OCT has been used in a variety of medical research and diagnostic applications with the most successful being in ophthalmology for retinal sectional imaging. The interference signals of OCT can be detected in either time domain (TD-OCT) or spectral domain (SD-OCT). Spectral-domain detection has the advantages of fast imaging speed and better signal-to-noise ratio. Currently, SD-OCT has become one of the major retinal imaging techniques in ophthalmic clinics.

Dr. Jiao’s lab pioneered the use of high resolution SD-OCT in imaging small animal models of ocular diseases. Currently, SD-OCT plays an important role in ophthalmic research using animal models.

 	<li><strong>Photoacoustic Microscopy</strong></li>
</ol>
PAM is an optical-absorption based microscopic imaging modality that detects laser-induced ultrasonic waves (photoacoustic waves) as a result of specific optical absorption. Photoacoustic ophthalmoscopy (PAOM) is a branch of PAM. PAOM is capable of imaging the physiologically-specific optical absorption contrast in the retina, which is missing in all existing ophthalmic imaging modalities. PAOM was first introduced in 2010 by Dr. Jiao’s lab together with his collaborators and has since achieved high-speed, high-resolution in vivo imaging of the vasculature of the retina and the pigmentation of the RPE in small animals.

 	<li><strong>Multimodal imaging</strong></li>
</ol>
Multimodal imaging takes advantages of combining different contrast mechanisms to provide comprehensive anatomical and functional information of biological tissues. PAOM and OCT, PAOM and autofluorecence imaging, and OCT and autofluorescence imaging  are imaging modalities that can provide complementary contrasts for imaging biological tissues and are good candidates for an integrated multimodal system.
