Wolfson Family Laboratory for Clinical and Biomedical Optics Team
The Wolfson Family Lab collaborates with diverse disciplines to investigate the use of noninvasive optical technology for monitoring cerebral hemodynamics and ultimately aims to bring our research to bedside management. Our team values communication, teamwork, and curiosity for scientific discovery and is always open to innovative ideas that can improve a patient's quality of life.
The Wolfson Family Laboratory receives generous support from the Wolfson family. Their philanthropy creates a translational impact that has a multiplier effect, allowing the lab to gain more funding support and continue to make discoveries that improve neurological outcomes of critically ill infants and children.
The lab team also appreciates support from the Hughes family to further our research.
Leader
Wesley B. Baker, PhD
Assistant Professor; Co-Director, Biomedical Optical Devices to Monitor Cerebral Health Frontier Program
Dr. Baker develops point-of-care optical devices and neuro-diagnostics to guide the care of children at risk for brain injury. He also studies the interplay between the delivery of pediatric care and the patient's long-term brain health.
