Satellite Images Help Target Vaccination Campaigns in Developing Regions
Satellite images that capture short-term changes in population size in communities in developing countries could help vaccination campaigns achieve more complete coverage and aid in preventing disease outbreaks. Vaccination campaigns supplement routine immunization but often fail to achieve coverage goals due to uncertainty about target population size and distribution. Short-term fluctuations in population can significantly impact population size and susceptibility.

Protocols Introduced for Graphene-Based Array for Biophotonics Applications
The fabrication and use of transparent graphene-based neural electrode arrays for applications in fluorescent microscopy, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optogenetics have been described in detail by the researchers who developed the array. The arrays, which have broad-wavelength transparency from the UV to the IR spectra, could provide opportunities to advance techniques that may not be possible using conventional opaque metal electrode arrays.

Superresolution Microscope Builds 3D Images by Mapping Negative Space
Thermal noise imaging, a novel method for making 3D images of biological structures at high resolution and under natural conditions, may offer insight into how cells communicate with one another, helping to further the development of artificial organs such as skin or heart tissue.

OCT-A Detects Early-Stage Glaucoma
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) was used at the earliest stages of glaucoma to identify the characteristic patterns of different forms of the disease. OCT-A, a noninvasive technique that employs en face reconstruction of OCT combined with motion contrast processing to reveal perfused retinal vasculature, could enable doctors to diagnose glaucoma cases earlier than ever before and potentially slow down the progression of the disease.

Intracoronary NIRF Molecular Imaging - Translatable Approaches
Mon, Oct 24, 2016 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Dr. Farouc Jaffer of Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital will present on his use of cutting-edge fluorescence molecular imaging technology to develop intravital microscopy, for the purpose of understanding in vivo the molecular mechanisms of atherosclerosis, thrombosis and vascular injury. He will discuss how his lab has partnered with engineering groups around the world to develop translatable intravascular fluorescence molecular imaging approaches, and the recent clinical translation of this technology. Dr. Jaffer performed the first intracoronary human studies at MGH using a novel OCT-fluorescence imaging catheter. He will speak on these studies and include specific examples based on preclinical trials.
