Stanford researchers have developed a wirelessly powered, fully internal implant which allows for optogenetic control of neurons throughout the nervous system in mammals, and in particular, mice.
Researchers in Prof. W.E. Moerner's laboratory have developed a compact point spread function (PSF) that enables optical imaging in three dimensions with nanoscale precision using a limited number of photons.
Stanford researchers have designed a tunable wedge-based phase mask for 3D super-resolution imaging that can simultaneously determine both the position and rotational mobility of individual light-emitting molecules from a single camera image.
Researchers in Prof. Brian Feldman's laboratory have developed a patented drug screen to identify compounds that could potentially treat obesity and metabolic disease by converting cells to calorie-burning brown fat.
Dr. Karl Deisseroth and Dr. Raju Tomer have developed a CLARITY optimized light-sheet microscope (COLM) for rapid, high-resolution imaging of large intact tissue samples.
Summary: Stanford researchers at the Melosh Lab have proposed a non-invasive, high electrode density, high resolution (100 micrometers to 10 nanometers) neural device implantation for electrical stimulation of neural/biological tissues.
Researchers at Stanford have developed methods to identify and treat MYC-driven cancers, including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). RCC is a common, aggressive type of kidney cancer and effective therapeutics are lacking.
Stanford researchers patented a method to design, computationally optimize and fabricate efficient optical devices using semiconducting and dielectric nanostructures.
Stanford researchers have developed an injectable, biocompatible hydrogel consisting of extracellular matrix (ECM) from human cadaveric tendons as a potential scaffold for guided tissue regeneration and tissue engineering purposes.
This invention, the “Charge Cloud Tracker” is a fast, low-cost, strip geometry x-ray detector that is predicted to provide limiting resolution on the order of 5 microns, with very high x-ray detection efficiency.
