Darren Roblyer pioneers discoveries not only in translational biophotonics, but also through new voices and programming opportunities
Megan Bell always had a clear interest in biomedical engineering, but not necessarily the specific direction she would pursue.
Assistant Professor Travis Rotterman studies CNS function and malfunction in rodents to understand human systems. By Danny Giancioppo, Photo by Jackie Ricciardi, Figures provided by the Rotterman Group Growing up working on a farm, the lab might seem a lifetime away. The world may instead be centered around strenuous physical effort, community, and––of course––small-town sports. […]
by Jack Osmond Whether in her home state of Michigan, during her high school years in Virginia, or in the city of Boston, Kate Herrema has always had an aptitude for science and math. But it wasn't until she took a psychology class in high school that she discovered her interest in neuroscience. “I remember […]
A society of neuroscience experts are creating a dedicated hub of resources for fNIRS research. by Danny Giancioppo Research Associate Professor Meryem Yücel (BME) isn’t just a technical director at the Neurophotonics Center––she’s also a leading expert in the field of functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), with a keen interest in community work. While there are […]
"A Light Breakfast" is a limited summer series in which Boston University Photonics and Neurophotonics Center graduate students who previously attended the Photonics Center Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program are interviewed over breakfast at a food stop in or around BU's campus.
