Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have developed an optical imaging and optogenetics two photon laser system that uses a single beam to illuminate many sites in three-dimensions.
Stage of research
Researchers designed electro-optical gratings for fluorescence microscopy - a drop in to existing systems with no new lenses. Researchers demonstrate a 9x improvement on FOV using Olympus 10x/0.6NA WI immersion objective at 3.3 Hz.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have engineered versatile, virus-based constructs that are driven by neuronal activity to either label or optogenetically control those active neurons.
Stanford researchers have developed a method that can tune the ratio between reversible (RE) and irreversible (IRE) electroporation through waveform adjustments.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel tomographic technique, cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopic tomography, to probe optical properties in 3D with nanometer-scale spatial and spectral resolution.
Stanford researchers have developed an ultrafast multi-foci two-photon microscope system that aims at 1 kHz full frame rate with 500x500 ?m2 field of view (FOV). It utilizes a 2D foci-array pattern and 1D scanning mechanism to achieve full FOV excitation coverage.
An interdisciplinary team of Stanford researchers have developed MagSweeper, a patented robotic liquid biopsy device that efficiently isolates and purifies live CTCs (circulating tumor cells) from blood while removing 100% of contaminating blood cells.
Stanford researchers have developed a simple and effective method to sort semiconducting from metallic single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT). This scalable technique uses semiconducting polymers to wrap around individual semiconducting SWNTs dispersed in a solution.
Stanford researchers successfully purified highly enriched semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) free of any dispersing agent via an easy, fast and scalable method.
Researchers in Dr. Karl Deisseroth's lab have engineered a channelrhodopsin variant that can be stimulated by red light and has fast stimulation frequencies. In neurons, channelrhodopsins are light activated protein channels that induce action potential firing.
Stanford researchers have developed a cell line (MFB-F11) that can be used for an easy, sensitive, and specific bioassay to study the biological functions of Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta).
To better understand how the brain processes information and generates behavior, researchers in Dr. Liqun Luo's lab have generated the FosTRAP and ArcTRAP mouse strains.
Researchers in Dr. Karl Deisseroth's lab have created inhibitory channelrhodopsins (ChRs) that allow fast, reversible inhibition of electrical signals in neurons. Optogenetics is a technique used to understand normal and pathological neural circuitry.
