The price for the best oral presentation at the Biomedical Engineering Research Symposium 2023 goes to Silvia Noble.

Title of the presentation: "Intraoperative detection of glioma tumor infiltration: Comparative study of FLIm vs preoperative MRI-based neuronavigation performance"

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.
