About
Sazgar Burhan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of biomedical optics and robotics, whose work is transforming non-invasive medical imaging. His primary research focuses on developing advanced optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems, particularly for large-area skin imaging and label-free tissue assessment. Burhan’s major contribution is the invention of Large Area Robotically Assisted OCT (LARA-OCT), a system that integrates MHz-OCT surface tracking with robotic control to overcome the traditional limitations of slow, small-field OCT scanners. This innovation enables rapid, high-resolution imaging of extensive skin lesions, offering a powerful tool for differentiating healthy tissue from pathological conditions without biopsy. His most cited work, "Large area robotically assisted optical coherence tomography (LARA-OCT) for skin imaging with MHz-OCT surface tracking" (2023, 6 citations), has already garnered attention for its clinical potential. More recently, Burhan has extended his expertise to transplant medicine, demonstrating in "Label-free volumetric imaging of porcine kidney tissue over extended areas using dynamic MHz-OCT" (2025) that dOCT can provide objective, non-invasive viability assessments for kidney transplants—a breakthrough that could reduce reliance on invasive biopsies. His work is paving the way for faster, safer, and more comprehensive diagnostic imaging in dermatology and transplantation.
