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

Intraoperative FLIm shows promise for real-time in vivo identification of glioblastoma infiltrative edge, a current challenge during brain tumor removal surgeries. The study comprises in vivo data from 15 glioblastoma patients, comprising 89 samples from the tumor resection margins. Read it the full paper here.

In our latest publication, the ability of multimodal FLIm–OCT to nondestructively monitor the heterogenous growth of engineered tissue constructs in situ is demonstrated. Spatial and temporal variation of construct ECM component was detected by FLIm. OCT reveals structural defects (voids and cysts). This multimodal approach has great potential to replace costly destructive tests in the manufacturing of tissue-engineered medical products, facilitating their clinical translation.

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”.
