Conference presentations: September 2024

Our team is growing and we can present at the same time in two different places now!

PhD candidate Nore Van Loon (joint project with FunGen lab, Prof. S. Vergult) gave a talk at the Methods and Applications of Fluorescence 2024 conference (8-11 September Valencia, Spain)! She presented her work in progress on using autofluorescence and fluorescent cholera toxin labelling to monitor differentiation of neural cells in human iPSC-derived 'brain' organoids. This work is a part of ongoing efforts of bringing together multi-omics approaches and advanced imaging of organoids to better understand aetiology of such neurodevelopmental disorders as FOXG1 syndrome, funded by the Special Research Fund at Ghent University (BOF) and Marguerite-Marie Delacroix foundation.


At the same time, Prof. Ruslan Dmitriev travelled to Munster, Germany, to present an invited lecture on imaging oxygenation and cell metabolism in multicellular spheroids in 4th Inflammation & Imaging symposium! This lecture summarised our recent progress in development of NIR-emitting O2-nanosensors and their application in stem and cancer cell derived organoid models, in line with our research within FLIMagin3D Horizon MSCA doctoral network and Ghent Light Microscopy Core ambitions.


Thanks to the organisers and audience for attending!
