What are the main advantages of #optoacoustic #imaging and #sensing? Which #diseases can profit in terms of #diagnostics, #theranostics, early detection, or better staging of disease progression? What can it tell us about human #metabolism? How could it revolutionize #diabetes management? These and more questions are answered in the story below spiced with an interview of MunichImaging director Vasilis Ntziachristos.

It was a great honor to receive the inaugural Global Innovator Lectureship Award from the IBS Center for NanoMedicine (CNM) at Yonsei University. The award recognizes world leaders in translational research leveraging micro & nanotechnologies to improve human health. I shared our work developing inertial #microfluidics and deformability #cytometry that underlies Cytovale's IntelliSep early sepsis diagnostic test, as well as our most recent #labonaparticle technology to speed up translation of the most sensitive microfluidic assays. My thanks to IBS CNM Director Jinwoo Cheon, Professors Jae-Hyun Lee, and Minsuk Kwak for hosting me and sharing the world class research at the IBS CNM. Among other work, I would encourage the community to closely follow their innovative approaches to #magnetogenetics. The magnetic #nanoparticles they synthesize are uniquely responsive to magnetic torques, transmitting forces to underlying mechanosensitive ion channels, and avoiding the challenges with creating large magnetic field gradients within tissues that other techniques suffer from, including techniques we previously pursued. Mechanosensitive ion channels, not normally present in particular tissues, can also be genetically encoded to localize the effects, e.g. to particular types of neurons in a region of the brain. There is the potential to overcome a lot of the downsides of #optogenetics, such as low penetration depth, with this new technique. During my trip to South Korea, I also caught up with my colleague and friend, Professor Sunghoon Kwon, at Seoul National University and his latest startup Meteor Biotech. I was given a demo of their new CosmoSort instrument which enables rapid picking of single cells or cell clusters from histology or cytology slides for downstream deep genomic or other molecular analyses. A really exciting new technology for #spatialbiology, clinical diagnostics, and elucidating the links between morphological arrangements of cells and genetics. He has also made fantastic progress in the realm of rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing with QuantaMatrix's dRAST instrument. Stay tuned for their latest demonstrations to speed up AST. #bioengineering #technology #mechanomedicine #innovation #microtechnology #nanotechnology #nano #singlecell #sepsis #diagnostics

🔊 Last week, our research team member, Özlem Salehi Köken gave a talk about applications of quantum computing for life sciences at the KOBIT conference supported by the Scientific and Technology Research council of Turkey TÜBİTAK. In this presentation, Ozlem demonstrated how Algorithmiq is leveraging quantum computing to tackle complex problems in chemistry and introduced our drug discovery software platform, Aurora which is powered by breakthrough tensor network error mitigation strategies for scale. She also discussed current progress on our work with IBM and Cleveland clinic on photo-activated cancer drugs. #quantumcomputing #lifesciences #scientific #technology

[COMMUNITY] 🔬 Speed and accuracy are hallmarks of event-based vision. Researchers at Ghent University have shown how its accuracy and efficiency can be used in critical biomedical research in areas such as cancer cell and microparticle identification and classification. 📊 By using a Prophesee Metavision® equipped event camera system for its imaging flow cytometry process - which separates, sorts and analyzes different types of cells based on size, shape and fluorescence in a rapidly flowing sequence - the team was able to reduce error rates in its ‘label-free’ method to 2% (compared to 10% or more using frame-based systems). 🔍The event-based vision sensors operate at the ultra-high-speed time resolution equivalent to thousands of images per second, with latency at the sub-millisecond level. This allows for highly reliable sensing of events, in this case, the variation of the diffraction pattern caused by the passing particles. The process also benefits from the more efficient memory use that event-based vision enables. Well done Muhammed Gouda, Alessio Lugnan, Joni Dambre, Gerd Van den Branden, Christoph Posch, and Peter Bienstman!
