-----Dr. Wolf joined RMD in
2009 as Group Leader of the Optics and Photonics Group.
The group expands on RMD's core technology and product expertise
in low light level, high speed optical detection. The group's
focus is the development of cutting edge optical and photonic
products in the areas of: biomedical imaging and diagnostics,
single molecule detection, the detection of agents of bio,
chemical, and nuclear terrorism, environmental monitoring,
laser ranging and scanning, and defense. Dr. Wolf received
his B.S. in Physics from Brooklyn College (1972) and his
MS (1976) and Ph.D (1979) degrees in Physics from Cornell
University, where he participated in the early application
of Fluorescence Recovery after Photobleaching (FRAP) and
Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) to the study
of the action of immunoglobulins on cell surface receptors.
-----He was a National Cancer
Institute Fellow at The Johns Hopkins University from 1978
- 1981. From 1981 - 1998 Dr. Wolf was on the faculty of
the Worcester Foundation for Biomedical Research. From 1998
to 2002 he was Professor of Physiology at the University
of Massachusetts Medical School. Prior to coming to RMD,
Dr. Wolf was Vice President for Research and Development
at Sensor and BioHybrid Technologies, where he developed
a noninvasive fluorescence-based glucose sensor and a bench-top
FCS instrument.
-----Dr. Wolf has a long
history of private and federal funding of his research on
the structure, function, and dynamics of biological membranes
using advanced imaging techniques. He is respected for his
expertise in biomedical engineering and bioinstrumentation
and pioneered the use of fluorescence resonance energy transfer
to study oligonucleotide hybridization and the use of FCS
to study RNA diffusion inside of cell nuclei and the determination
of membrane receptor stoichiometry. At Sensor Technologies,
he was awarded a grant from the National Institutes of Health
to study the use of FCS in pathogen detection.
-----He directs the Analytical
and Quantitative Light Microscopy course, widely
viewed as the world's premier program in optical microscopy
and digital imaging and offered annually by The Marine Biological
Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Dr. Wolf has authored
over sixty publications in respected scientific books and
journals and he holds six issued US patents. He is coeditor
of Digital
Microscopy published by Elsevier Press, now in its
third edition.
