This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.Imaging in Engineered Tissue (IMINENT) and the 'Photon Forum' are specialized lectures held monthly throughout the year. These two intensely technical lecture series are designed to encourage collaboration and dissemination. Imaging in Engineered Tissue (IMINENT ) was established in February 2006, 9 meetings were held last year. This is a joint seminar that encourages collaboration with other labs on campus. Participants come from Biomedical Engineering (Steve George), Chemical Engineering and Materials Science (Andrew Putnam), and the Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics (Enrico Gratton). The meeting topics are listed below; Variations in second harmonic and two photon fluorescence signal from collagen gels due to changes in polymerization conditions.' Christopher Raub (George lab). Mapping dermal structural assembly in normal and pathological connective tissues with intrinsic signal multiphoton optical microscopy. Dr. Julia Lyubovitsky (Tromberg lab)'Proteolytically Mediated Invasion and Differentiation within Fibrin-based Matrices.' Cyrus Ghajar (Putnam lab) MPM/OCM in engineered tissues studies . Dr. Shuo Tang (Tromberg lab)'New methods for quantitatively characterizing engineered tissues using backscattering spectroscopy' Dr. Pedro Quinto-Su (Venugopalan lab) 'Modeling Wound Healing in a Novel Skin-Equivalent Tissue Construct, Using Multiphoton Microscopy' Ryan Lim (Tromberg lab) Prevascularized Implantable Tissue Xiaofang Chen (George lab).Biomedical Engineering Soc. Conference update Chris Raub (George lab). Dynamics of Cell Migration for cells embedded in Collagen using a multimodal platform of Optical Coherence Tomography, Multi-Photon excitation and Second Harmonic Generation Dr. Kandice Tanner (Gratton lab)The 'Photon Forum' consists of intensive technical lectures by LAMMP scientists with substantial feedback and discussion from LAMMP collaborators. Average attendance is approximately 40 people for 9 lectures. This years topics included: Towards functional optical imaging in layered tissues using modulated imaging Long term study of dorsal skinfold model for microvasculature therapies Model based curve fitting vs dumb correlation: Pros and cons of model driven and data driven approaches in visual reflectance spectroscopy and IR threshold energy diagnostics Looking at biology with CARS Development of a Laser Microbeam/Microscope Platform for Rapid Single Cell Bioanalytics Optical Intrinsic Signal Imaging, New Vantage 'Modeling and Computation at BLI' 3-D Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging of Degenerative Joint Cartilage 'Use of C# Programming Language for Modulate Imaging'
