The Qavi Lab seeks to leverage new techniques and advances in technologies to re-invent conventional diagnostics.

Key Research Areas

Photonic Resonators

Photonic resonators are a class of exquisitely sensitive optical devices that confine light. We seek to take advantage of their intrinsic properties for ultrasensitive diagnostics.

Laboratory Medicine

Clinical laboratories play a critical role in the management of patients. Our lab is interested in continuing to push innovative studies associated with laboratory developed tests.

News

The Qavi Lab is now live!

The Qavi Lab has officially started at the University of California, Irvine! We are eager to push the boundaries of conventional diagnostics through new optical technologies, while also affecting patient care through advances in clinical laboratory medicine.
