Professor of Biomedical Engineering Jinyi Qi receives the Edward J. Hoffman Award for his advancements in molecular imaging and is celebrated for his contributions to this year’s “Image of the Year” from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.
Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue is the lead author of a paper that describes a new microscope system that enables rapid, clear and detailed tracking of living brain tissue.
The Women in Photonics workshop aims to connect excellent female scientists at the beginning of their careers with experts in photonics who hold leading positions at research institutions and companies. The event addresses early-career women scientists (postdocs and Ph.D. candidates) in the field of (bio)photonics who want to present their research work, build professional networks, and improve specific career skills.
Research in Laura Marcu’s laboratory promotes better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human diseases through advancements in biophotonics technology – a field at the interface of physical sciences, engineering, biology, and medicine.
They have received their third National Institutes for Health grant for continuing work on the clinical applications of fluorescent lifetime imaging (FLIm) for diagnostic and surgical purposes.
Biomedical engineering Ph.D. student Hannah O'Toole was recently awarded a National Institutes of Health T32 Chemical Biology Program fellowship for her work in sensing biomarkers for cancerous tumors through biophotonics technology. "The whole idea of biophotonics is to use light to interrogate biological samples, typically to make some diagnostic observations," O'Toole explains.
