He also serves as Chief Scientist for CBST and Co-Director for the Translational Core of the Clinical Translational Science Center at UC Davis. Until November 2005, he was a Group leader for Biophotonics and Nanospectroscopy at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in Livermore, CA, where he developed and applied novel nano-biophotonics tools for characterizing the nano-systems biology of individual cells. He joined LLNL in 1998 as a postdoctoral researcher and became a staff scientist in 2000. Dr. Huser obtained his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Basel, Switzerland, where he worked primarily on near-field optical microscopy. At UC Davis he applies single molecule fluorescence, Nano-Biophotonics, and Raman spectroscopy and imaging to biological and medical problems at the single cell level.
