System

Understanding of complex diseases, therapeutic effects, and biological functions requires new imaging tools with minimal biological disruption, multiplexed molecular contrast in high volumes and high resolution. I build this label-free nonlinear microscope and work on designing optics and algorithms towards faster, deeper, and more colorful imaging for multicellular dynamics.

I have the privilege of collaborating closely with biologists at MIT to explore a wide range of biological questions, spanning from fundamental research to diagnostics and therapeutic strategies. Major collaborations include:

• Prof. Linda Griffith (MIT BE), human endometrium and organoids
• Prof. Eliezer Calo (MIT Biol), nucleolus
• Dr. Michal Tal (MIT BE), bacterial infection
• Prof. Roger Kamm (MIT BE), microfluidic model of blood-brain barrier
• Prof. Fan Wang (MIT BCS), mouse whisker pad
