Our Scialog Team (Judith Su, University of Arizona and Lu Wei, Caltech) Proposal titled “Understanding Biological Systems Using Resonator-Mediated Single-Molecule Raman Detection and Spectroscopy” has been funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
We have received a new grant from the University of Arizona Cancer Center. The project title is “Ultra-sensitive and label-free detection of circulating tumor DNA to treat high-risk reoccurring cancer.” This work is in collaboration with Benjamin Lee.
Congrats to our BIO5 KEYS (Keep Engaging Youth in Science) high school intern Alyssa Unell on being accepted early action to MIT and Caltech!
Judith Su is serving on the Integrated Nonlinear & Quantum Optics technical committee for the 2019 Optical Society of America’s Integrated Photonics Research conference, to be held from 29 July to 01 August 2019, at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport, Burlingame, California United States
Erol Ozgur presented a talk entitled, “Rapid, Label-free, and Ultra-Sensitive Detection of Urine hCG Using Frequency-locked On-chip Optical Microcavities” at BMES 2018 in Atlanta, Georgia. The contributing authors were Erol Ozgur, Kara Roberts, Ekin Ozgur, Adley Gin, Jaden Bankhead, and Judith Su. This project was funded by the Partnership for Clean Competition.
Judith Su participated in the Scialog Fellow meeting which was organized by the Research Corporation for Science Advancement, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Paul G. Allen Frontiers Group, and the National Institutes of Health. The theme of this meeting was on the chemical machinery of the cell. During the meeting, Scialog Fellows participate in writing collaborative proposals.
I’m honored to receive the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery’s 2019 Dr. Horace Furumoto Innovations Professional Young Investigator Award
Judith Su will be giving an invited talk at the Optical Society of America’s Biophotonics Congress: Optics in the Life Sciences

Our lab has just received a new grant from NSF to carry out pilot research on real-time high precision spectroscopy. Our lab is constantly seeking new talent and at this time would especially welcome postdoctoral researchers.
Our lab together with Euan McLeod’s group from Optical Sciences and Brian Stoltz’s group from Chemistry, Caltech has just been awarded a $1.86 M three year grant from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to carry out research on chemical threat sensing. We have immediate opportunities for several postdocs. If you know of any talented and motivated postdoctoral researchers who may be suitable, please ask them to contact me at judyAToptics.arizona.edu
