Hi All,

Tomorrow (Tuesday) ISAC will be hosting a webinar by Alex Walsh on
Single Cell Analysis of Autofluorescence Lifetime Images.  The webinar
is free and open to members and non-members alike, so please feel free
to attend if you are interested in lifetime imaging, 2-photon lifetime
imaging, or autofluorescence imaging. The webinar is at 12 PM EST and
you should be able to register at the link below.  If you have any
trouble with the online registration feel free to contact me - it is
clunky.  Thanks!

About the Faculty:
Dr. Walsh completed her Ph.D. at Vanderbilt University where she
developed an autofluorescence lifetime-based assay for determining the
optimal cancer treatment strategy for individual patients. As a post-doc
at the Air Force Research Lab, Dr. Walsh used optical techniques to
investigate infrared-light activation and inhibition of action potential
propagation in neurons. Currently, Dr. Walsh is an Assistant Professor
in the Biomedical Engineering Department at Texas A&M University.

Webinar Summary:
Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) of the endogenous fluorophores,
NADH and FAD, co-enzymes of metabolic reactions, provides a label-free
method to quantify cellular metabolism. This webinar will review
multi-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging methods, single cell
segmentation, and intra-population heterogeneity analysis. Examples will
be shown for drug response in breast cancer organoids and activation of
T cells.
