Vibrational spectroscopy enables interrogation of structures based on inherent contrast from molecular vibrations. We develop infrared spectral imaging and fiber optic methods for clinical and laboratory assessment of a range of tissues, including bone, cartilage, meniscus, ligament, tendon and cardiovascular tissues, and for developing engineered tissues. In addition, we\u2019re interested in the effect of biological interventions, such as anti-resorptive agents, on bone quality and mechanical properties.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-330\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tisl\/files\/2021\/10\/FTIR-schematic-3-19-21-2-1024x782.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tisl\/files\/2021\/10\/FTIR-schematic-3-19-21-2-1024x782.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tisl\/files\/2021\/10\/FTIR-schematic-3-19-21-2-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tisl\/files\/2021\/10\/FTIR-schematic-3-19-21-2-768x586.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tisl\/files\/2021\/10\/FTIR-schematic-3-19-21-2-1536x1173.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tisl\/files\/2021\/10\/FTIR-schematic-3-19-21-2-2048x1564.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We focus on assessment of tissues at the molecular, cellular, and structural level through application of state-of-the-art vibrational spectroscopy, including mid- and near-infrared spectroscopy and&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tisl\/\">Continue Reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Research<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":15471,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-29","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15471"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
