Join me and support Bioengineering at Illinois! 🚀Fuel breakthrough research and power our amazing students—every gift, big or small, ignites the next innovation. Help us today ➡️ payment.giving.illinois.edu/bioengineering…
✨ Huge thanks to everyone who joined the Quantitative Phase Imaging (QPI) Conference at @Spie @PhotonicsWest ! ✨ It was amazing to see the QPI community grow, with 90 abstracts, 14 invited talks, 30 oral presentations, & 46 posters—a testament to the field’s rapid progress!
Congratulations to this year's Gabriel Popescu Award finalists and winner, Alex Matlock! Thank you to the Gabriel Popescu Foundation for your incredible support. The QPI field is thriving, and we’re proud to be part of this amazing community.
I’ve never been a fan of markers in SMLM, but they were a necessity in index-matched media. Our latest work overcomes this! A Versatile Drift‐Free Super‐Resolution Imaging Method via Oblique Bright‐Field Correlation - Advanced Science doi.org/10.1002/advs.2…. Happy Holidays!
Excited to share our recent work on Omni-Mesoscope, a new imaging tool for multiscale high-throughput quantitative phase imaging of cellular dynamics and high-content molecular characterization | Science Advances science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
🔬🔬🔬🧬🧬🧬 Picasso 0.7.0 now supports a new drift correction method AIM (github.com/jungmannlab/pi…). Main advantage is that it can capture high frequency drift better. Below is our 20nm DNA ruler benchmark. Amazing work from the @JungmannLab in particular @rafalkowalew.
The Department of Bioengineering in The Grainger College of Engineering seeks applicants for a Visiting Research Specialist position in Dr. Yang Liu’s laboratory. 🔶Apply here: illinois.csod.com/ux/ats/careers…
📷 Call for Papers: Quantitative Phase Imaging at @SPIEtweets Photonics West 2025! 📷 • Abstract Submission Deadline: 17 July 2024 • Conference Dates: 25 - 30 January 2025 📷 Submission Instructions: spie.org/pwb/conference…
Excited to share our recent work on super-resolution imaging of chromatin organization upon T cell activation. Totally surprising to see the disrupted nuclear envelope and the release of cytosolic DNA. nature.com/articles/s4200…
Thank Michael for writing this piece about our recent work. bioengineering.illinois.edu/news/AIM-algor…
Thank @christlet for posting this. Our new adaptive intersection maximization-based method (AIM) tackles high-frequency drift in SMLM in @ScienceAdvances, enhancing resolution dramatically. It works directly on the point lists. Try it out and let us know how it works. #SMLM
Please consider submitting an abstract to the IEEE IPC Medical Optics and Biophotonics 2024 conference. The deadline is May 20. Don't miss the opportunity to network with your colleagues and explore the historic city of Rome. mailchi.mp/ieee.org/exten…
Large-scale microscopy imaging coupled with AI will revolutionize drug development! cnbc.com/2024/05/10/rec…
What a great meeting! A huge thank you to my fellow co-chairs for their tremendous efforts. This conference has been an absolute blast! Looking forward to seeing everyone again in 2026.
In honor of Gabi Popescu, we wrote this perspective on quantitative phase imaging to improve precision cancer medicine. spiedigitallibrary.org/journals/journ…
Register for the TiME Day Symposium! 🔶 April 3rd / Beckman Institute 🔷 10a - 4p 👉 Register: forms.illinois.edu/sec/18575741 🔷 The Tissue Microenvironment (TiME) Training Program event will explore the tissue microenvironment through faculty research talks and poster presentations.
Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do.
We are excited to welcome new faculty member Professor Yang Liu to the department! To get to know Professor Liu a little better, we asked her a few questions about her work and what makes bioengineering important to her. Read that interview here: bioengineering.illinois.edu/news/QA-Yang-L…
