Microprism-Mediated Calcium Imaging Reveals Neural Dynamics Over Time
SEATTLE, April 10, 2024 — An approach to deep brain imaging developed at the University of Washington uses microprisms to provide stable tracking of neuronal activity over a large field of view. According to the research team, the microprism technique is a significant improvement over existing imaging methods used to characterize neuronal ensemble dynamics within deep brain tissues. Organisms rely on their brains’ complex neural circuits to process information and perform functions that will help them find
Deep Learning Model Helps Target Prostate Cancer Treatments to Individual
SEATTLE, April 2, 2024 — Approximately 250,000 men in the U.S. receive a prostate cancer diagnosis each year. While overall morbidity and mortality rates for this type of cancer are low, a subset of cases requires aggressive treatment. A machine-learning model developed by...

SEATTLE, Sept. 14, 2021 — The NSF has issued a five-year, $25 million Science and Technology Center grant to fund the Center for Integration of Modern Optoelectronic Materials on Demand (IMOD), a collaboration of scientists and engineers at 11 universities led by the...
Researchers Create Video from a Single Image
SEATTLE, June 18, 2021 — A team at the University of Washington has developed a method capable of turning static images of fluid motion into animated videos. The method makes it possible to animate flowing material, such as water, clouds, and smoke. It produces a short...
OCT Offers High Speed, Strong Resolution in Retinal Imaging
SEATTLE, Sept. 14, 2020 — Researchers at the University of Washington have modified the standard process of OCT (optical coherence tomography) to detect minute changes in response to light in individual photoreceptors in the living eye. The technique has potential in the...
Light-Based ‘Tractor Beam’ Generated for Nanoscale Assembly
SEATTLE, Nov. 7, 2019 — Researchers from the University of Washington (UW) have developed a method that could make reproducible manufacturing at the nanoscale possible. The team adapted an existing technique pioneered by Arthur Ashkin, optical tweezers, to operate in a...
Inverse, Mie Scattering Techniques Advance 3D Metamaterial Design
SEATTLE, Oct. 10, 2019 — Using an inverse design approach, a team led by researchers at the University of Washington designed and tested a 3D-printed metamaterial that can manipulate light with nanoscale precision. Though the researchers chose a spiral helix pattern for...
Laser Beam Helps Protect Signal Proteins Used for Tissue Engineering
SEATTLE, May 22, 2019 — A University of Washington research group has used laser light to tether and untether signal proteins to the scaffolds used in tissue engineering. The signals that these proteins send to control cell migration, division, and differentiation are...
Fluorogenic Method Detects Two-Protein Aggregation in Live Cells
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Feb. 15, 2019 — A new method uses fluorescence to detect potentially disease-causing forms of proteins as they misfold and unravel due to stress or mutations. Researchers from Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) and the University of Washington re-engineered...
