There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

"Multiscale Optical Imaging of the Cerebral Vasculature”

University of California, Irvine
ABSTRACT
Recent developments in photonic technologies, optical molecular probes, and transgenic animal models have led to remarkable advances in visualization of biological structures and processes. I will discuss our ongoing efforts to image and characterize rodent cerebrovascular structure and function, with two primary applications: 1) cardiac arrest and resuscitation, and 2) Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. An emphasis will be placed on the constant push-pull between scientific questions of interest and development and application of optical technologies and methodologies to address these questions. Specifically, laser speckle imaging, spatial frequency domain imaging, and thick-tissue optical clearing will be discussed.
Faculty Host: Dr. Erin Buckley
