[FILM-Users 00584] Imperial College - Oliver Sin - My brain is always open exhibition
by Oliver Sin 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

We cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition of works by Oliver Šin at the Centre for Languages, Culture & Communication (Level 3, Sherfield Building South Kensington Campus, Imperial College London SW7 2AZ) on 11th of September, 2015 at 6 pm. The exhibition will be on view till October 31st, 2015. The exhibition will be opened by Dr David Stokes who has been heavily involved in events and activities aimed at engaging the public in the exciting world of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics), organising events such as research festivals at the Science Museum London, and hands-on science weekends. The artist Oliver Sin bases his work on ta possible dialogue between science and art, on feedback between the cold world of a scientist and the usually bohemian life of an artist. The result is amazing, a little Dada, a little Expressionist, always Conceptual and full of ideas and questions. And art which motivates viewers with irony, with colour winks. You cannot be indifferent when faced with it. For this exhibition Oliver used the open minds of Imperial College London.

Advanced notice Widefield Update On the 14th September we are getting a new replacement for the widefield 2 microscope. The old widefield 2 will be re-installed into room 527 on the 5th floor This move requires us to temporarily close access to the widefield room on the 14th and 15 of September while this move takes place and so both widefields will not be available to users during this time This will also affect access to the confocal 2 room and microscope If any of this will cause a problem please contact us to discuss bw Steve FILM - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy ************************************************************** Steve Rothery FILM Technician Sir Alexander Fleming Building, desk 403 Imperial College London / South Kensington Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ Tel +44-(0)207 594 9793 And ICTEM, (L-Block) Room 314 Hammersmith Campus Imperial College London Du Cane Road London, W12 0NN Tel. +44-(0)207 594 1669 E-mail s.rothery(a)imperial.ac.uk<mailto:s.rothery@imperial.ac.uk> Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility **************************************************************

[FILM-Users 00582] FYI: OCT talk 23rd Juy 1:30pm RSM3.22
by Keller, Debora 22 Jul '15

22 Jul '15

Dear all, See below a talk on OCT to be held at the Royal School of Mines on Thursday 23rd July in RSM3.22 from 1:30-2:30pm. Cheers Debbi Advances in optical coherence tomography: translation of OCT technology from bench to bedside Zhongping Chen Department of Biomedical Engineering Beckmann Laser Institute The Edwards Life Sciences Center for Advanced Cardiovascular Technology University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is one of the fastest growing areas of biomedical optics with many potential clinical applications. The recent development of Fourier domain OCT has significantly increased the imaging speed and sensitivity, and has enabled real-time 3-D imaging. The innovations in light source, detector, miniature probe, and image processing have greatly extended the clinical applications of OCT technology. Many of the functional extensions of OCT technology that were developed in the last decade, such as Doppler OCT, Polarization sensitivity OCT, and Phase resolved OCT, started to generate clinically important information in clinical studies. I will report several on-going research projects in my laboratory that focus on translating OCT technology to solve specific clinical problems. The new innovations, such as optical coherence elastography and multimodality intravascular imaging will be described. The challenges and opportunities in translational research will be discussed. Brief Biography: [chenmodified]Dr. Zhongping Chen is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Director of the OCT Laboratory at the University of California, Irvine. He is a Co-founder and Chairman of OCT Medical Imaging Inc. Dr. Chen received his B.S. degree in Applied Physics from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1982, his M. S. degree in Electrical Engineering in 1987, and his Ph.D. degree in Applied Physics from Cornell University in 1993. Dr. Chen's research interests encompass the areas of biomedical photonics, microfabrication, biomaterials and biosensors. His research group has pioneered the development of functional optical coherence tomography, which simultaneously provides high resolution 3-D images of tissue structure, blood flow, and birefringence. These functional extensions of OCT offer contrast enhancements and provide mapping of many clinically important parameters. In addition, his group has developed a number of endoscopic and intravascular rotational and linear miniature probes for OCT and MPM imaging and translated this technology to clinical applications. He has led numerous major research projects funded by NIH, NSF, DOD, and DARPA, including several interdisciplinary research projects such as the NIH Biomedical Research Partnership (BRP) grant and NSF Biophotonics Partnership Initiative grant. Currently, he is the principal investigator of Four NIH R01 grants. He has published more than 200 peer-reviewed papers and review articles and holds a number of patents in the fields of biomaterials, biosensors, and biomedical imaging. Dr. Chen is a Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), a Fellow of SPIE, and a Fellow of the Optical Society of America.

FYI -------------- Dear Colleagues, I would like to make you aware of the EMBL Interdisciplinary Postdoc Fellowship Programme (EI3POD). The fellowships are funded by EMBL and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Cofund Grant from the EU, providing young scientists with three years secured funding. Successful candidates will pursue interdisciplinary projects, transferring techniques to a new context or connecting scientific fields that are usually separate, across at least two labs at the five EMBL sites. External partners from academia or industry are also welcome to take part. The 2015 EMBL Interdisciplinary Postdoc fellowship (EIPOD) closes on 10th September 2015. Applicants are invited to propose an interdisciplinary project according to their scientific interest and are encouraged to get in touch with their EMBL faculty member of interest during the development phase of the project. To apply, or for more information on the fellowship programme please visit: www.embl.org/eipod<http://www.embl.org/eipod> Best wishes, Y.

by Keller, Debora 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Dear Users, You might have seen him around, or heard him at the Match-Maker during Microscopy Day, but I wanted to make you aware that Yuriy Alexandrov has joined FILM for an initial 6 month period during which he can assist you with advanced image analysis. Yuriy has experience in Matlab programming, mathematical modelling, principal component analysis, pattern recognition, statistical models and much more. Due to his expertise, he is available to provide support for the existing image processing packages and develop scripting and informatics approaches tailored to your needs for more advanced and complex imaging projects. Yuriy will be at Comp2 FILM analysis computer in South Ken from Mondays to Wednesdays noon and you can come and chat with him about your image analysis questions, or just shoot him an email at y.alexandrov(a)imperial.ac.uk<mailto:y.alexandrov@imperial.ac.uk>. He has already helped provide a couple of solutions to users, your problem could be next! :) For people thinking of doing high-content imaging, or trying to identify different populations or behaviours from microscopy images, this is a good opportunity. I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity, and if the demand is there we will try to convert this temporary post into a more permanent role to assist users in advanced image analysis.
