Research Overview
Advanced microscopy for minimally invasive, in vivo characterization of brain function
Optical Microscopy & Neuro-Imaging Lab
The OMNI Lab strives to develop and apply high-resolution optical technologies to investigate brain function in rodent models of human disease. Specifically, we apply advanced optical microscopy methods to investigate metabolic and immune features during healthy brain function and their disease-related alterations. The overarching goal of these efforts is to characterize the etiologies of debilitating brain pathologies, including stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding at the cellular level how these pathologies advance within living brains will ultimately help identify precise and robust biomarkers for diagnosis and therapy.
