Carlos Renteria, Ph.D. (Fed)
Biomedical Engineer
Carlos Renteria is a National Research Council (NRC) Posdoctoral Research Associate in the Biomaterials Group. He completed his Ph.D. in Bioengineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the Biophotonics Imaging Laboratory, led by Prof. Stephen A. Boppart. His research portfolio centers around developing optical microscopy tools to study biological systems and materials. During his Ph.D., he developed multiphoton microscopy tools to characterize and monitor the effects of pulsed laser irradiation on photosensitive cells. He has also used label-free imaging techniques to investigate the neural microenvironment, and the effects of neurodegeneration and environmental toxins on the brain. He is currently working with Dr. Charles Camp on new label-free microscopy tools to assess and identify optical biomarkers associated with cell viability. These efforts will improve the existing tools available to the biotechnology and biomedical community, ultimately advancing biometrology and expanding the bioeconomy.
