Milind Rajadhyaksha PhD

Dr. Milind Rajadhyaksha's designs develop and translate confocal microscopes for noninvasively guiding diagnosis and therapy of skin, oral/head-neck, and breast cancers. His work spans the entire spectrum from laboratory bench-top research through commercialization through translational and clinical studies to clinical implementation, and he enjoys working in the so-called "valley of death" (and living through near-death experiences) between laboratory and clinic and between academia and industry. Two of his microscopes have been commercialized (VivaScopes, Caliber Imaging, and Diagnostics) and are now being used in clinics, with an impact on patient care (sparing biopsies of benign lesions).
