THE STANFORD BIO-X FELLOWS SYMPOSIUM CELEBRATES OUR STANFORD BIO-X FELLOWS AND THEIR RESEARCH ACCOMPLISHMENTS
One Stanford Bio-X Fellow will give a presentation on her research and accomplishments in the Clark Center Auditorium, followed by a poster session.
BOZHI TIAN, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
Recent studies have demonstrated that in addition to biochemical and genetic interactions, cellular systems also respond to biophysical cues, such as electrical, thermal, and mechanical signals. However, we only have limited tools that can introduce localized physical stimuli and/or sense cellular responses with high spatiotemporal resolution. Dr. Tian's group integrates material science with biophysics to study several semiconductor-based biointerfaces.
BIANXIAO CUI, DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY
Attend Dr. Cui's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. Bozhi Tian's seminar, "Physical biology at the semiconductor-enabled biointerfaces", to be held Thursday, October 4th.
Imaging fluorescently-labeled DNA in live cells with nanoscale precision shows significant promise as a diagnostic tool; however, the intrinsically stochastic nature of biological systems limits our ability to interpret meaningful signals from the noise. Here we discuss the implementation of advanced, 3D microscopy into an imaging flow cytometer and the unique calibration protocol we developed, in which we rely on statistical distributions rather than the unattainable static ground-truth. We demonstrate our system on live yeast cells, attaining 3D spatial information with orders of magnitude higher throughput than previous methods.
