Recent ENG PhD Helps Develop Highly Sensitive Imaging Technique to Detect Myelin Damage
In a new study from Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and BU’s College of Engineering, researchers used a special microscope called birefringence microscopy (BRM) paired with an automated deep learning algorithm to reliably count and map myelin damage across whole sections of the brain—something not feasible with other techniques. The ability to […]

A Summer Experience Like No Other: Life as an REU at Boston University
If you went to summer camp, you’ll remember the feeling well: leaving home, sometimes for weeks at a time, learning new things and meeting new people. You might think of archery, rowing, campfires and fireworks as the dog days of summer stretch on. What might not come to mind is cardiology, lithography, single-molecule force spectroscopy, […]
