On Monday, December 3, 2018, Nozomi Nishimura, Associate Professor of the Nancy E. and Peter C. Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University will lead a discussion on “Exploring behaviors of cells “in the wild” with in vivo multiphoton microscopy.” She will discuss how her research group has used nonlinear optics, two-photon microscopy, and nonlinear photodisruption in neuroscience applications to study circuitry and to generate models of microvascular lesions in the brain. Her group has recently adapted these experimental capabilities to organs with motion including the intestine and the heart, studying how these different tissues react to similar lesions and found that in heart and brain, Cx3cr1-expressing cells (resident macrophages in heart or microglia in the brain) move towards injuries in a similar manner.
This lunch seminar will be held at the Boston University Photonics Center, 8 Saint Mary’s Street, Room 906, Boston, MA 02215.
Check in will start at 11:30 am and the speaker will start at noon.
Registration is required to ensure a lunch will be ordered for you.
