Dr. Zuzak has a multidisciplinary education and experience within the field of biomedical imaging and bioengineering. Dr. Zuzak was the recipient of the Marvin Bacaner Fellowship and has an inter-disciplinary research history ranging from cellular and molecular cardiology based on the Langerdorff Retro-Perfusion technique, and experience with implantable devices, specifically pacemakers and cardioverters. While at the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Zuzak developed a visible reflectance hyperspectral imaging system and spectral deconvolution methodology, which he translated to the clinics at NIH and the US Army.  Dr. Zuzak is interested in developing systems and methods for detecting and monitoring disease and its progression that will help guide clinicians and surgeons deliver better health to everyone.

After His NIH tenure, Dr. Zuzak took an Assistant Professor Faculty position at the University of Texas at Arlington in the Department of Bioengineering and holds Associate Faculty at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center within the departments of Surgery and Advanced Medical Imaging where he has been developing the field of hyperspectral imaging for clinical and surgical utilities for six years.  During that time, he has authored twenty-two papers and three patents on hyperspectral imaging.  As a principle investigator, he has received funding from the National Institutes of Health for monitoring retinal changes in a double knock-out mouse model dispositioned for developing diabetic retinopathy and seed funding for Texas Instruments developing hyperspectral imaging systems and collaborating with Raytheon.
