We have an exciting list of speakers for this year’s OMS virtual spring meeting including world leaders in the fields of super resolution advanced light microscopy, cryo-EM, and S/TEM.
Speakers:
“Antimicrobial and biomimetic metaloxide nanoparticles: synthesis, characterization and applications in healthcare”
Dr. Fernando Esteban Florez, OU College of Dentistry, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center
Dr. Florez has significant research experience in the areas of biophotonics, development of medical devices for surface sterilization using UV-C LEDs, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy, metaloxide nanoparticles, nanostructured dental adhesive resins with antibacterial and bioactive properties, advanced microscopy techniques (SEM, TEM, Dual-FIB SEM, EDS), high-throughput bioluminescence assays. https://dentistry.ouhsc.edu/About/Faculty-Directory/Details/fernando-luis-esteban-florez
“Seeing Beyond Port-Mortem: In-Situ Capabilities in the ESEM”
Dr. Daniel Veghte, Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis, The Ohio State University
Dr. Veghte is a Senior Research Associate-Engineer at CEMAS and has developed instrumentation used for collecting and analyzing aerosol particles, leading to a wide range of knowledge in conventional and novel sample preparation techniques. He has analyzed many different materials through working in two different user facilities, where he managed instrumentation and tackled projects ranging from high-resolution analysis to complex in-situ experiments. https://cemas.osu.edu/people/veghte.2
“Frontiers in Cellular Cryo-Electron Tomography”
Dr. Long Gui, Nicastro Lab, UT Southwestern Medical Center
Dr. Gui is a Postdoctoral research in Dr. Daniela Nicastro’s Lab. The Nicastro Lab uses cryo‐electron tomography to visualize the 3D ultra‐structure of cells, organelles (such as cilia), and macromolecular complexes. https://www.utsouthwestern.edu/labs/nicastro/
“Super-resolution Microscopy Developments for High-throughput, Deep-tissue and Correlative Imaging”
Dr. Joerg Bewersdorf, Yale School of Medicine
Dr. Bewersdorf is a Professor of Cell Biology and of Biomedical Engineering at Yale University. An optical physicist/biophysicist by training, Dr. Bewersdorf has been a long-time contributor to the field of super-resolution light microscopy development and the application of these techniques to cell biological questions. https://medicine.yale.edu/profile/joerg_bewersdorf/
“Seeing Atoms: Unraveling Material’s Functionality”
Dr. Stephen Pennycook, National University of Singapore (retired)
Dr. Pennycook is a Visiting Professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Dept., National University of Singapore, an Adjunct Professor in the University of Tennessee and Adjunct Professor in Vanderbilt University, USA. He is a world-leading microscopist, a pioneer of scanning transmission electron microscopy, and laid the foundation of both theoretical and experimental modern microscopy. His contributions to the development of the Z-contrast technique for incoherent imaging of materials at atomic resolution and leadership in developing sub-Angstrom resolution aberration-corrected electron microscopy led to the first images of single atoms of boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen (Cover of Nature, in 2010 and featured in 2014).
