  • High-Speed Calcium Imaging

    The Volynski lab, led by Kirill Volynski, Professor of Neuroscience at University College London (UCL), is primarily interested in understanding the regulation of neurotransmitter release which forms the basis of communication among neurons in the brain.

  • Live Cell Dynamics

    The group of Prof. Cornelia Monzel aims to understand the interplay of physical and biological mechanisms that give rise to relevant cellular functions for use in diagnostics and therapy.

  • Neural Optogenetics

    Dr. Cruikshank and colleagues are interested in information processing in the brain, focusing on circuits linking the brain’s neocortex and thalamus. These circuits are critical to sensation, perception and learning.

  • Neural Vascular Imaging

    The Attwell lab is interested in understanding the interactions that occur between neurons, glial cells and the vasculature of the brain through the use of electrophysiology and imaging techniques.

  • Dynamics of Complex Fluids

    The Bäumchen lab is researching the physics underlying interfaces of soft and biological matter. In particular, they want to understand how those interfaces can alter the dynamics of soft and living matter. To achieve this, a multitude of techniques including micro- and nanofluidics, lab-on-a-chip technologies and force spectroscopy methods are employed.

  • Neuroscience and Calcium Imaging

    Dr. Geoffrey Murphy, professor of physiology at the University of Michigan’s Molecular & Behavioral Neuroscience Institute studies the how the mammalian brain encodes, stores and retrieves information.

  • Optogenetics of Living Biofilms

    Bioprinting is an increasingly applied technique that facilitates the precise placement of biological substances – such as living cells, DNA, proteins, and growth factors – for the computer-aided fabrication of biologically active materials with a prescribed organization.

  • Liquid Beam Observation and Fluorescence

    Dr. Andreas Hans is the subgroup leader of the Spectroscopy and Physics with Synchrotron Radiation group within Experimental Physics. This group is performing studies on x-ray interactions with samples and the effects on a molecular level, using x-rays to irradiate biomolecules in a vacuum and detecting the resulting emission of photons, electrons, and other subatomic particles.

  • High Content Imaging

    Jonathan Rocheleau is an Associate Professor in the Institute of Biomaterials & Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto. His laboratory uses high content imaging to study pancreatic islet biology.

  • High-Speed FRET

    The Plested lab investigates the characterization of receptors relevant to neuronal systems. They apply multiple techniques to image isolated neurons, including a combination of electrophysiology and fluorescence live-cell imaging.

  • Spinning Disk Confocal at University of Manchester

    The research being performed at the University of Manchester has a real-world impact beyond the lab. The team is at the forefront of the search for solutions to some of the most pressing issues in biology, medicine and health

  • Spinning Disk Confocal at University of Edinburgh

    The group of Professor Seth Grant are interested in whole-brain synaptome mapping with an aim to understand more about how synaptic proteins are distributed and the role the molecular heterogeneity of synapses plays in health and brain disease.There are more than 1000 genes encoding proteins in the excitatory postsynaptic density alone, and the group aims to catalog as many synaptic proteins and protein subtypes in both excitatory and inhibitory pre and post-synaptic densities.
