John Turek develops optical imaging methods, particularly digital holography and Doppler spectroscopy, to measure motion inside living cells and tissues. His work applies these techniques to predict how tumors (including canine and human cancers) will respond to chemotherapy, aiming to help personalize treatment selection. Much of his research bridges physics-based imaging tools with clinical and veterinary oncology applications.
Publication output peaked around 2019-2020 and has since settled into a lower, fairly steady pace of a few papers per year through 2024.
