Congratulations to Alba, who was awarded an R21 Small Grant for New Investigators to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research from the NIH – NIDDK.

Alba’s work will focus on developing a fluorescence lifetime imaging method to evaluate colon inflammation in living mice. Here is a description that will give you a broader idea on the scope of her project:

Congratulations Brent Weyers! Brent successfully passed his dissertation defense on June 15th, 2022. 

His topic: "Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging for Intraoperative Diagnosis and Surgical Guidance of Oral Cavity and Oropharyngeal Cancer"

On the international workshop “Women in Photonics” in Jena, Germany Alba Alfonso-Garcia presented her poster “Label-free fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIm) for surgical guidance: Detection of brain tumors and gastrointestinal disease”. With this poster presentation Alba won the second price in the “Best Poster” category.

The first price in this category goes also to a UC Davis member: Hannah O’Toole (Carney Lab) with the poster title “SERS-MOF platform for capture and detection of tumor-associated volatile organic compounds”.

The price for the best poster presentation on the Biomedical Engineering Research Symposium 2022 goes to Brent Weyers.

Title of the poster: "In Vivo Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging In H&N Oncology: An 88-Patient Study Demonstrating Cancer Detection and Confirmation of Negative Surgical Margins"

Xiangnan Zhou has made it: he successfully received his PhD on March 4th, 2022.

His thesis topic: "Novel optical techniques for characterization of native and engineered cartilage and the development of APD based fluorescence lifetime imaging system".
