Welcome to LAMMP

Overview

The Laser Microbeam and Medical Program (LAMMP) is a Biomedical Technology Research Center supported by the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Located within the Beckman Laser Institue and Medical Clinic at the University of California, Irvine, LAMMP is dedicated exclusively to the use of lasers and optics in biology and medicine. LAMMP supports activities in technological research and development, collaborative research and training/dissemination.

LAMMP research and technology development is based on fundamental light-tissue interaction mechanisms. The LAMMP program also emphasizes "translational" research by rapidly moving basic science and technology from "benchtop to bedside."
