Vanderbilt Translational Skin Imaging Clinic Vanderbilt University Medical Center Leukocyte dynamics in human skin capillaries by noninvasive reflectance confocal microscopy Inflammatory tissue response is one of the first and most common manifestations of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), a potentially deadly immune-mediated disease that occurs in 30-60% of patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. A fundamental […]
Professor of Optical Engineering Shenzhen University Super-resolution for live cell imaging Super-resolution imaging has made remarkable progress in recent years, providing a powerful tool for biology. It allows for the observation of fine structures of cells, cellular dynamics and cellular functions at nanometer scale or even single molecular level, which greatly promotes the development of […]
Liu Group, UC Davis Scanning Probe Microscopy Based 3D Nanolithography Three dimensional (3D) printing has been an active area of research and development due to its capability to produce 3D objects by design. Miniaturization and improvement of spatial resolution are major challenges in current 3D printing technology development. This presentation reports advances in bringing 3D […]
Department of Biomedical Engineering Department of Radiology University of Michigan School of Medicine Light plus Sound: Imaging and Treatment Photoacoustic imaging (PAI), also referred to as optoacoustic imaging, is an emerging biomedical imaging technology that is noninvasive, nonionizing, with high sensitivity, satisfactory imaging depth and good temporal and spatial resolution. Like conventional optical imaging, […]
Applied Physics Fellow, Group Leader (Neuro-photonics Group) ANU College of Health and Medicine Australian National University Canberra, AU Using Complex Light Patterns To Understand Brain Circuits We aim to understand how information is processed in cortical circuits of the mammalian brain. To achieve this, we use complex light patterns to stimulate and record the […]
Department of Biomedical Engineering Oregon Health & Sciences University Portland, Oregon Visualizing Tumor Biology: From Single Molecules to Systems Cancer is a systems disease that arises from complex molecular abnormalities, whereby effective treatment requires insight into tumorigenesis at multiple levels – from individual molecules to whole cells and tumors. Research in our laboratory aims to […]
MacLean Professor of Engineering, Dartmouth Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Biomedical Optics, SPIE Press Imaging Medicine Abstract While the field of Medical Imaging is dominated by radiological devices, the field of Imaging Medicine today is dominated by optical devices. Optical imaging is commonly used at the point-of-care, where patient and physician are in the same room together. […]
UC Irvine Assoc. Professor Department of Chemical Engineering and Material Sciences Dynamic Materials Inspired By Cephalopods Abstract Cephalopods (squid, octopuses, and cuttlefish) have captivated the imagination of both the general public and scientists alike for more than a century due to their visually stunning camouflage displays, sophisticated nervous systems, and complex behavioral patterns. Given their […]
Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Radiology Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute at Columbia University Using Light to Image at the Speed of Life Abstract Light is uniquely capable of probing and changing the electron and vibrational energy levels of molecules. As a result, light can be used to spectrally discern a tissue’s chemical composition, excite […]
