Researchers Combine OCT and 3D Microscopy to Image Embryos
Researchers Combine OCT and 3D Microscopy to Image Embryos
To help researchers and clinicians better understand the cellular-level events that occur during embryonic development, a team from the University of Houston and Baylor College of Medicine is developing a new technology to allow simultaneous imaging of embryonic structural development and the molecular underpinnings that occur in the developing circulatory system.

Multispectral Imaging Aids Wound Healing, Pathology Research
From airborne mapping to astronomical imaging to manufacturing inspection, multispectral imaging (MSI) has long been the go-to tool for extracting crucial details, often from distant views. Today, MSI is making promising inroads in biomedical applications, where its capacity for noninvasive, cost-effective imaging delivers customizable information in real time.

Innovations in Flow Cytometry Expand Its Use in Clinical Diagnostics
Innovations in Flow Cytometry Expand Its Use in Clinical Diagnostics
The outstanding achievements of immunologists James P. Allison and Tasuku Honjo — winners of the 2018 Nobel Prize for medicine for their discovery of cancer therapy by inhibition of negative immune regulation — are at the forefront of an active research field that will soon enable us to “educate” the immune system to fight specific cancer cells. The research could lead to a cure for many cancer forms, likely reducing the reliance on chemotherapy.

A New Tool for Live-Cell Imaging
To expand the toolbox of imaging in living cells, researchers from Colorado State University and the Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed a genetically encoded, antibody-based probe that works with specificity in vivo. The probe can light up, in multiple colors, HA-tagged nuclear, cytoplasmic, membrane, and mitochondrial proteins in diverse cell types.

OCT and Ophthalmology in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
OCT and Ophthalmology in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Tue, Oct 8, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Presenter Nishant Mohan, Ph.D., will provide a hands-on demonstration of how to develop a deep-learning AI system from scratch, giving attendees critical insight into how to use this powerful tool. He will provide specific examples of the application of AI in optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging and show how the combination of these two techniques promises to have a significant impact on our understanding and treatment of ophthalmic disorders, and how this could hold important lessons for similar applications.
