In February 2016, Dr. R. Dmitriev and PhD candidate J. Jenkins attended 60th Biophysical Society Meeting (Feb 27- Mar 2), held in Los Angeles, California.
Dr. R. Dmitriev has presented platform talk on multi-parametric O2 imaging in 3D cell models;
J. Jenkins has presented a poster on application of O2-sensitive nanoparticles to study the function of Ca/Mn-transporting ATPase SPCA2.
More details on the meeting can be found here.


Most of the members of the Lab also attended Europtrode 2016 meeting, held in Graz, Austria, on March 20-23: Dr. Dmitriev has delivered a talk on copolymer nanoparticle O2 probes for live cell imaging, Prof. D. Papkovsky presented a poster about applications of O2-sensitive probes for physiology, PhD candidate C. Kelly has presented a poster on new O2-sensitive materials for food-related applications, PhD candidate N. O'Donnell has presented a poster about encapsulation of O2 probe in protein nanoparticles.
Europtrode is one of the largest EU-based scientific meetings, dedicated to the development and applications of optical (bio)sensors. More information about this conference can be found here.

On Monday, Mar-28, Dr. Dmitriev has presented a seminar "Optical detection of molecular oxygen in cells and 3D tissue models" at the University of Tartu, Estonia.

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 ...

JoVE Methods collection: Quantitative live cell imaging of 3D models

By -

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 .
