Christine P. Hendon is a professor of electrical engineering with research interests in Systems Biology and Neuroengineering. She is interested in developing optical imaging and spectroscopy instruments for applications in cardiac electrophysiology and interventional cardiology. Professor Hendon develops biomedical optics technologies for biomedicine to guide interventional procedures and to provide insights into the structure-function relationship of biological normal, diseased and treated tissues. 

She has worked on developing next-generation optical coherence tomography systems and integrated therapeutic catheters with near infrared spectroscopy, along with real-time processing algorithms to extract physiological information.  Hendon collaborates extensively with investigators from Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Medical Center. Her group has developed integrative optics and therapeutic probes for improving the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.
