Located in the CNSI tech centers at UCLA, ALMS is a Leica Microsystems Center of Excellence featuring an optical suite of 1,800 square feet specifically designed to house light microscopes. Our tech center currently provides users inside and outside the UC system with services in: wide-field fluorescence imaging microscopy, stereo microscopy, iterative deconvolution and computationally derived optical sectioning, confocal one-photon and two-photon laser scanning confocal microscopy imaging, Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS), Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET ), Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM), time-correlated-single-photon-counting (TCSPC), lightsheet microscopes, near-infrared (NIR) imaging, and super-resolution (Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) and STORM) microscopes for probing biological and artificial molecular systems at the nanoscale offering ~70 nm spatial resolution.

Greater Boston

Various clinical and preclinical investigations into the advancement of laser therapies combined with topical drug formulation development under the direction of Dr. Dieter Manstein, and development of wearable oxygen sensors under the direction of Dr. Conor L Evans.

Greater Boston

In the lab of Dr. Conor L. Evans, my project focused on the development of a swellable hydrogel wound dressing (aka 'SMART 'bandage) which allows for imaging and quantification of transcutaneous tissue oxygenation and consumption, via a ratiometric color change between a custom phosphorescent metalloporphyrin and a fluorescent reference.

Greater Boston

As a junior faculty member in the CBRC my research program focused on topical drug releasing hydrogel development, skin interfaced sensing, and advanced imaging techniques for dermatological applications.
