European Conferences on Biomedical Optics 2025

Kimiya Mousavi, a master’s student in our group presented her work at the European Conferences on Biomedical Optics this July in Munich, Germany.

Kimiya has been developing image processing methods for dynamic OCM to provide researchers new tools with which to study trophoblast organoids, a type of 3D cell culture which models placental development. While traditional methods of studying these models requires sectioning and staining the organoids, dynamic OCM allows for non-invasive, label-free imaging by using metabolic activity to distinguish cells and sub-cellular structures.
