Two exceptional research images captured at Indiana University’s Light Microscopy Imaging Center are among the 15 finalists in the international GE Healthcare Life Sciences 2013 Cell Imaging Competition. The IU center won the competition last year with an image of a dividing mammalian cell and could do so again if enough votes from scientists and the public are cast online by the Dec. 20 competition deadline.
UCSF Researchers Use Innovative Approach to Yield Images of TRPV1 with Unprecedented Clarity.
In the early 1990s, when Wallace H. Coulter – legendary scientist and inventor of a device to rapidly count cells – was elected as a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), he was unable to attend the meeting to accept the nomination. Rather than mail the award to him, Georgia Tech’s Robert Nerem, who was AIMBE’s president at the time, hopped on a plane from Atlanta and flew to Miami to present Coulter with the award in person.
CfA study finds tablets make perfect platform for 3-D simulations.
Stanford University researchers have received Bio-X funding to develop a tiny moving probe to study the mechanical properties of sensory cells in the ear. Their research could lead to new treatments for hearing loss, and the probe may advance other scientists’ research as well.
