Archana Venkataraman

2026 REU Project: Coming soon Professor Venkataraman’s research integrates medical imaging, artificial intelligence, and clinical neuroscience to study brain dysfunction. As PI of the Neural Systems Analysis Laboratory, she develops computational models that combine hypothesis-driven neuroscience with data-driven learning to produce interpretable, predictive insights. Her work spans foundational and translational neuroimaging research, advancing understanding of […]

Irving Bigio

2026 REU Project: Coming Soon The focus of Irving Bigio’s Biomedical Optics Lab is the development of minimally-invasive research-oriented and clinical (both diagnostic and therapeutic) tools, based on optical technologies. Applications span the breadth of the human body. The lab’s projects include: Optical Biopsy: we develop tools to measure non-invasively the reflectance spectrum of biological […]

Michelle Teplensky

2026 REU Project: Modifying Nanocarriers to Modulate Release From Hydrogel Research in the Teplensky Lab focuses on engineering nanotechnology to control immunological cell connectivity, processing, and communication by design. In doing so, we elucidate fundamentals about cellular events and leverage this knowledge to develop improved therapeutics and vaccines that can impact the treatment of cancer […]
