Research Focus
Parekh's research focuses on looking at changes in the chemical environment to diagnose and predict specific pathologies and properties in biological tissues. Parekh develops label-free imaging and analytical tools that use nonlinear chemical microscopy to see how they might be applied to diagnose and predict type 2 diabetes and other diseases.
