Prof. Jin Ho Chang
Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST),
Republic of Korea
Jin Ho Chang is the Dean of the College
of Transdisciplinary Studies at Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of
Science and Technology (DGIST) and a Professor in the
Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
He earned his M.S. and B.S. degrees in Electrical
Engineering from Sogang University in 2002 and 2000,
respectively, and received his Ph.D. in Biomedical
Engineering from the University of Southern California in
2007. Prior to joining DGIST, he served as a faculty member
at Sogang University from 2010 to 2020, progressing from
Assistant Professor to Full Professor. He has held key
leadership positions, including serving as an executive
member of the Korea Engineering Deans Council, a board
member of the National Daegu Science Museum, a member of the
Medical Device Review Committee of the Ministry of Food and
Drug Safety, and a review board member of the National
Research Foundation of Korea. He is also actively involved
in various professional organizations, including the Korean
Society of Medical & Biological Engineering and the Korean
Society for Therapeutic Ultrasound. Additionally, he served
as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on UFFC from
2014 to 2022. His research focuses on medical ultrasound
imaging and therapy, ultrasound-optical fusion technology,
and deep learning for medical imaging. He has published over
85 SCI journal articles, including in top-tier journals such
as Nature Photonics and Nano Energy, and holds more than 75
registered patents, with technology transfers exceeding 1.2
billion KRW.
Speech Title: "Ultrasound-Induced Optical Clearing for Deep Optical Imaging and Photothermal Therapy"
Abstract: Hybrid imaging techniques have
garnered significant attention, as each medical imaging
modality has inherent strengths and limitations. Combining
modalities allows the simultaneous acquisition of
complementary information, enhancing diagnostic
capabilities. Among various imaging modalities, ultrasound
and optical imaging are notably compatible, each
complementing the other's advantages and mitigating
respective limitations. Consequently, numerous studies have
explored ultrasound-optical hybrid systems to generate novel
clinical value. Additionally, ultrasound has facilitated
advanced optical imaging methods designed to overcome the
inherent limitations of light penetration in biological
tissues, notably through techniques like
ultrasound-generated guidestars for wavefront shaping. In a
distinctly different approach, our research team recently
introduced ultrasound-induced optical clearing (US-OC), a
groundbreaking method that leverages transient gas bubbles
generated by ultrasound along the optical path to
significantly reduce tissue optical scattering. We
successfully applied US-OC to laser scanning microscopy
(US-OCM), demonstrating over a six-fold increase in imaging
depth compared to conventional methods, while preserving
imaging resolution (Nature Photonics, vol. 16, 762-769,
2022). We also have applied US-OC to photothermal therapy
(PTT), recently published in Advanced Optical Materials
(2400332, 2024). PTT selectively delivers laser energy to
chromophores within targeted lesions, minimizing side
effects. However, its clinical applicability has been
restricted by limited therapeutic depth due to optical
scattering. To overcome this barrier, we developed
ultrasound-induced optical clearing-assisted PTT
(ULTRA-PTT). In this presentation, I will discuss the
foundational principles and potential clinical applications
of US-OC, US-OCM, and ULTRA-PTT.

and Journal of Nanobiotechnology (impact
factor 11.5) and Bioactive Materials (impact
factor 17.3) and applied several product and
process patents. His H-index is 34 and the
I10 index is 74 with a total citation of
around 5000. Prof. Nagendra is serving as
the editor of more than 20 journals
including Scientific Report, PloS One, IEEE
Journals, Frontiers journals, and many
others. He is also listed in World's Top 2%
Scientists by Stanford University and
Elsevier continuously since 2020.
