Takashi Daniel Yoshida Kozai, PhD, McGowan affiliated faculty and Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh was one of 35 presenters at Rice University’s InterfaceRice conference in May.
The event is centered around neuroengineering and is structured as a conversation between engineers, researchers, clinicians, and businesspeople. The conference includes panel discussions on the latest research in the field as well as on topics such as translation, ethics, and government policy.
Dr. Kozai’s session, “Shining Light on the Brain: Advances in Optical Microscopy,” focused on light microscopy as a way to obtain images of neurons and other cells in action. He provided an overview of new advances and experimental capabilities, including functional imaging at faster speeds, greater depths, and over larger tissue volumes.
Dr. Kozai’s research employs in vivo multi-photon microscopy, functionally evoked electrophysiology, post-mortem multi-channel immunohistochemistry, impedance spectroscopy, device design, and emerging biomaterial tools.
