Charles L. Hitchcock's research focuses on using infrared spectroscopy and related imaging techniques to help identify and characterize tumors, such as skin cancers (keratinocytic carcinomas) and colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. The work explores how these optical and molecular tools might assist pathologists and surgeons in detecting cancer tissue during or before surgery, comparing results to traditional methods like standard tissue staining.
