Our featured image, acquired by Ciarán Butler Hallissey, is a maximum-intensity projection of rat hippocampal neurons processed with ultrastructure expansion microscopy (U-ExM) and captured with a spinning disk confocal microscope. Find out more about the image and Ciarán’s research below. More about the image: Expansion microscopy physically increases the size of your sample to improve

An interview with Maribel Torres Velázquez

Posted by Mariana De Niz, on 6 August 2024

MiniBio: Maribel Torres Velázquez is a NURTURE postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Prof. Gregory Schwartz at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University, where she uses microscopy to study the retina-to-brain circuitry. Specifically, she aims to uncover the retina-brain connectivity map by identifying to which unique brain areas different retinal ganglion cell sub-types
