Two New WWTF Grants

News
The Vaziri lab has successfully secured with colleagues at IMP and IMBA two grants in the WWTF's Life Sciences Call 2014 - "IMAGING Innovative Biological and Biomedical Applications of Novel Imaging Technologies". The projects will be dedicated to building new super-resolution and high-speed whole-brain functional imaging techniques in behaving animals. Congratulations!

VBC Art&Science Contest 2014 winner from the Vaziri lab

News
Friederike Schlumm and Christoph Götz from the Vaziri lab won together with Isabel Grießhammer (IMBA) the VBC Art&Science Contest with their video: "Incubate over night" https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=lVchRXwjJRs Incubation is a widely used method in research. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. In this project we aimed to visualize this crucial process. We therefore applied the imaging technique "stop-motion" to study an overnight incubation. Our results reveal new insights into scientific experiments. Four teams participated, with four terrific art pieces, which were exhibited in our Cafeteria, and the VBCers were voting for the best piece. See the other art pieces at: http://www.vbcphdprogramme.at/current-students/art-science-contest/

New publication in Nature Methods

New publication in Nature Methods

News, Publications
Our recent paper on "Simultaneous whole-animal 3D imaging of neuronal activity using light-field microscopy” was published today in Nature Methods. Using light-field deconvolution microscopy for functional biological imaging, we were able to simultaneous  record the activity of the entire nervous system of C. elegans and showed whole brain imaging in zebrafish larvae at 20Hz volume rate.  Click here for further information.
