Background and education
editPerelman is the son of theoretical physicist Theodore L. Perelman, who solved the Conjugate convective heat transfer problem and made contributions in the development of a two-temperature model that describes electron and phonon temperature distributions in metals heated by ultrashort-pulsed lasers.[5]
Perelman completed his undergraduate degree in theoretical physics from Belarus University and doctoral degree in physics from Institute of Physics in Minsk in 1989. He joined MIT in 1992 as a postdoctoral fellow in biological physics.[6]
Career
editPerelman was appointed a principal scientist at MIT in 1995. He joined Harvard faculty in 2000 where he is currently a professor.[1]
Perelman was a member of the United States Department of Health and Human Services Joint Working Group charged with setting up funding priorities in oncologic imaging in the U.S.[7]
Research
editPerelman with Vadim Backman, an HST graduate student, introduced biomedical light scattering spectroscopy (LSS) in 1998.[8] This approach was later applied for detection of precancer in esophagus,[9][10] colon,[11][12] urinary bladder and oral cavity,[11] cervix,[13][14] pancreatic cysts,[15][16] and bile duct.[17] This technique was later extended to subcellular scales with development of confocal light absorption and scattering spectroscopic microscopy[18][19] for label-free subcellular functional imaging, sensing chromatin packing in live cells,[20] and demonstrating that exosomes promote tumorigenesis.[21]
Perelman's other contributions include demonstration of the world's first single-molecule detection with Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS),[22] and explanation of the critical role of stress confinement in short pulse laser ablation and laser surgery.[23] He also developed with John Marshall the first non-hydrostatic model of the ocean known as the MIT General Circulation Model.[24][25]
