With a background in physics and biophysics, Dr. Gabel was attracted to the powerful simplicity of C. elegans and similar model systems, to which the Gabel lab brings expertise in high-resolution laser ablation and fluorescence microscopy to study neuronal damage, regeneration and function. Along with his collaborators, Dr. Gabel has recently developed techniques to measure neuronal activity in C. elegans within medically relevant context such as physical damage, age related decline and exposure to anesthetics.

The Boston University Biomedical Engineering Department and the Neurophotonics Center are very pleased to announce that Anna Devor is joining BU as a Professor of Biomedical Engineering.
We’re glad to announce that Cameron Condylis was awarded an NIH F31 NRSA Pre-Doctoral Fellowship on “Functional, anatomical, and molecular dissection of mouse somatosensory cortex”. His project combines in vivo two-photon calcium imaging, anatomical tracing, and in situ transcriptional profiling to understand how these properties define neuronal cell types and circuit computations in the mammalian neocortex. Cameron […]

In just over a year, Kıvılcım Kılıç has established herself as an indispensable member of the Neurophotonics Center at Boston University, providing expertise in both physiology and neuroscience, interfacing with establishing connections between other investigators, and frequently pampering researchers with her homemade desserts. As if that weren’t enough, her passion for art in science has led to her creating medical illustrations to be published in prestigious academic journals. But how did she come to possess such wildly diverse talents, and how is she able to wield them so effectively?
