Corneal mechanics with Brillouin microscopy with Brad Randleman at Cleveland Clinic

• MSCRF with Dr. Woodworth and Dr. Bar (UMB Neurosurgery)

• R21 with Dr. Saeedi (UMB ophthalmology)

• MII with Dr. Isiah (UMB otorinolaryngoiatry)

• R21 with Katharina Maisel (UMD Bioe)

This completes the series demonstrating that Motion Tracking Brillouin microscopy can detect subclinical keratoconus before current ly available clinical instruments

Congratulations Dr. Xuewen Zhou, Dr. Romanus Hutchins, Dr. Raymundo Rodriguez, Dr. Jake Rosvold

Congratulations Jitao and Milos! And thanks Kandice for the great collaboration!

Grandissimo Justin!!!!

Emily Passaro, Lucas Muller, Adam Bizri and Ajeet Goraya!

Chenchen shows neural tube closure with Brillouin microscopy in Scientific Reports.

Romanus demonstrates high-resolution spectroscopy with atomic vapors in Optics Express.

Congratulations!

R21 for IMAT will develop Stimulated Brillouin cytometry for metastasis applications! In collaboration with Dr. Martin at UMB and Dr. Kostantopoulos at JHU, the grant builds on the work of REFI fellow Dr. Giulia Zanini!

Both tumor mechanics related! We looked at mechanical modulation of tumor nodules under flow and mechanical modulation of tumor cells during extravasation (collaboration with MIT Roger Kamm and Peter So’s labs)

Congratulations!

Nature protocols by Jitao and Optics Letters by Tony ! Congrats !

Eitan’s transient microlenses!!!

In collaboration with Kirill Larin (Houston) and Fabrice Manns (Miami) we’ll study lens biomechanics

Congratulations

Congrats Jitao !

We’ll work on multiplexing Brillouin microscopy!
