Professor Marcus Cicerone from Georgia Institute of Technology will present a seminar,
Spectroscopic Coherent Raman Imaging: Method Development and Mechanistic Biology.
Abstract:
Spectroscopic coherent Raman imaging (CRI) methods allow label-free, chemically specific imaging of materials and biological systems and open many exciting possibilities for understanding phenomena in these systems. I will introduce spectroscopic CRI, focusing on broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (BCARS) microscopy. I will discuss some of the key concepts that make these methods practical and some of the ways these concepts have been implemented. I will also discuss the results of selected mechanistic studies we have performed using BCARS for fat metabolism using C. elegans as a model and for organelle biosyntheses using a viral infection model.
