Profile for Daniel Summer Gareau

The skin is an organ that represents an exquisite feat of bioengineering. The skin surface provides an easily accessible imaging target that contains the vascular system, the gland system, the nervous system and hair bulbs, with rapidly multiplying stem cells that proliferate to replenish the epidermis. We must keep ourselves from the outside world with this organ and remain free of disease. Therefore, elucidating microscopic physiology must be achieved through imaging in order to understand the system or assess and treat any skin disease. The morphological nature of cellular processes in the dynamic setting of the skin requires the synthesis of optical engineering fundamentals with clinical research. My research is focused on building the tools to image the skin system. The ultimate goal is to treat disease armed with biological understanding gained by technology-enabled vision. I hope to enable detection of cancer earlier and more completely. At the end of this pursuit is the beginning of cancer.
