Neurophotonics Center’s 7th Annual Symposium on Machine Learning and Photonics in Neuroscience
Yesterday, the Neurophotonics Center’s 7th annual symposium took place on the Center for Computing and Data Sciences’ 17th floor, organized by faculty members Mike Economo and Brian DePasquale. With hundreds of attendees and 11 presenters, the topics were broken down into four sessions under the umbrella of “Machine Learning and Photonics in Neuroscience.”

Stephan Anderson
As Section Chief of Abdominal Imaging in the Department of Radiology at the BU Medical Center, Dr. Anderson has an extensive history in the field of radiology. He is the author of one book, as well as eight book chapters, all discussing body imaging, and has a wide range of experience in the imaging of […]
Christopher Gabel
Professor Gabel’s research program is focused on the development and application of femtosecond laser surgery and optical neurophysiology to the study of the nervous system of the nematode worm C. elegans. Using tightly focused pulses from an ultrafast laser, we can ablate regions of biological tissue with submicron precision, making it possible to snip individual […]
John Connor
Dr. Connor focuses his research on the study of viruses and how they dominate cellular hosts. He aims to develop a greater understanding of how viruses overwhelm or disarm the host defenses in order to develop new antiviral molecules and vaccines which will can augment a human beings’ antiviral defenses. This is approached by applying […]
Irving Bigio
Dr. Bigio’s research considers the development of minimally-invasive, research-oriented, and clinical (both diagnostic and therapeutic) tools based on optical technologies which span the breadth of the human body. His topics of study include optical biopsy, sensors to monitor the response of tumors to specific treatments, real-time imaging feedback systems for tissue profiling and guidance during […]
