New appointment for Dr. Ruslan Dmitriev

By -
Dr. Ruslan Dmitriev, head of Metabolic Imaging Group was recently honoured to serve as local Ambassador of the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB).

ASCB represents one of the largest societies in cell biology (>11,000 members worldwide) with primary mission to study the cell as fundamental unit of life.

The Society has major interests in improving the ways of assessing the research, addressing the key scientific policy issues, advocating increased research funding, supporting leadership and mentorship, and more.
ASCB is involved in number of activities supporting the research life of women in science, summer career development and education workshops, minorities’ affairs etc. It provides resources such as Career Advice for Life Scientists collection, recognizes outstanding members of community, supports individuals and groups with grants.

This year’s Annual Meeting will be jointly organized by ASCB and EMBO and will be held in Philadelphia, USA, on December 2-6. Be sure to check the exciting scientific program (covers bacterial infection and symbiosis, cell biology of neuron, cell cycle and death, cellular metabolism, RNA biology, multicellular interactions, tissues and organs and many other topics), career development resources and exhibitors and consider the participation in this meeting: poster abstract submission and travel award application deadlines are on August 31st.




If you want to learn more about attending ASCB meetings, becoming a member of Society or any other ways of how ASCB can help your career, check the following resources or contact Dr. Dmitriev

Affordable microscopy of spheroid oxygenation (video protocol)

Our lab has published a new protocol paper, this time with the video, in the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE)! In this research method paper, we report the use of red/ near-infrared emitting biocompatible nanosensors to monitor oxygenation of the live multicellular spheroids (made of one or more cell types), together with the tracers of cell death. While this methodology is typically available only for users with 'high-end' PLIM microscopes and alike, we show that using of ratiometric readout with the red and near infrared emitting fluorescent nanosensors makes this possible on broadly available 'widefield' fluorescence microscope platforms. This method helps comparing oxygenation of spheroids, assessing this in a long-term and kinetic assays, comparing their variability and viability, essential in follow-up 3D printing applications. This is the first article in our collection ' Quantitative live cell imaging of 3D models' , guest-edited together with

Together with Prof. Margarida Barroso (Albany Medical College), we guest edit a collection of video protocols, hosted by the Journal of Visualised Experiments ( JoVE ), and  dedicated to the quantitative live cell imaging in 3D .  We expect bringing together some leaders and innovators in various aspects of the quantitative live fluorescence microscopies applied to ex vivo animal models, organoids and 3D engineered tissue blocks. The collection, which just has been started, can be assessed here .
