In the Lab The Mortensen Lab is interested in using engineering approaches to solve important biological problems where canonical techniques and methods of thinking have failed. This requires a multidisciplinary mindset to draw together microscopy, engineering, systems level biology, and regenerative medicine. Specifically, our research uses multiphoton microscopy to enable the design of next generation…

In the Lab Functional heterogeneity is a significant barrier to the clinical translation of many cellular therapies, including mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Though MSCs have shown promise in treatment of immune diseases, the mechanisms of action and critical quality attributes (CQAs, predictors of function) in different therapeutic settings are largely unknown. The overall goal of the…

In the Lab The mission of Mao lab is two fold. For research, our goal is to exploit the science of magnetism and behavior of ferrofluids to design better solutions for biomedical research. Our expertise in this area includes nanoscale magnetism, micro/nano-technology, microfluidics, cancer diagnostics, stroke treatment strategies, and lab-on-a-chip systems for single cell studies.…

In the Lab One of the major challenges in neurobiology is understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying development of the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS). Research in our laboratory seeks to elucidate these mechanisms by studying development of the vertebrate forebrain and visual system. We study these systems by taking advantage of mutations that…

In the Lab The Kner Lab develops new techniques for improving the resolution of three-dimensional fluorescence imaging. We are interested in combining different super-resolution techniques (structured illumination, STORM) with adaptive optics and light-sheet microscopy for obtaining sub-diffraction resolution throughout model organisms such as C. elegans and zebrafish.

In the Lab Chromatin configuration in the nucleus or germinal vesicle (GV) of mammalian oocytes undergoes dynamic epigenetic modifications during oocyte growth. A crucial developmental transition at the culmination of oogenesis, large-scale chromatin remodeling in the GV is essential to confer the female gamete with meiotic and developmental potential. Using several models for the experimental…
