Picture Perfect Chemistry: Featuring Laboratory Imaging Experts & Photography Science Trivia

Starts: Oct 23, 2024 05:30 PM
Ends: Oct 23, 2024 07:00 PM

Open to anyone interested in knowing more about laboratory imaging and photography, Science Amphitheatre.

Huiwang Ai, PhD Professor of Molecular Physiology & Biophysics, Chemistry, and Biomedical Engineering, University of Virginia Fluorescence imaging typically involves physically invasive practices to capture biological processes, but Huiwang Ai and his lab are developing less invasive techniques that will enable us to take better images of the brain, cancer cells, and potentially any biological process and learn how they work. Prof. Ai will introduce his work engineering proteins to create molecular biosensors that can be imaged to track biological processes in the body and answer questions from the audience! Enrique Gomez, PhD Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering, and Interim Associate Dean for Equity and Inclusion, The Pennsylvania State University Electron microscopy provides materials scientists with an incredibly powerful tool to image complex soft materials like polymers and learn how they assemble, how they structure, and how they respond to their environments. Prof. Gomez will introduce your group to electron microscopy, describe the benefits of cryogenic electron microscopy (CryoEm), describe how he uses CryoEM techniques to capture images of difficult samples, and answer questions!
