SchallekLab
@schalleklab
At the junction of optics, neuroscience, ophthalmology and bioengineering.
Always a proud day when receiving the printed copy of the PhD thesis from a trainee. Guanping Feng (@UofRBME) is the third PhD awardee from the @schalleklab, now at @JohnsHopkins with @JiYiLight
✨Our newest @eLife paper out today!✨ 👉 elifesciences.org/articles/98662 When retinal photoreceptor cells are damaged, microglia race into action, but don't recruit neutrophils from nearby blood vessels @FlaumEye @eLife @CvsUor @URNeuroscience @NEIDirector #NIHfunded and @RPB_org
#URochesterResearch by @schalleklab found when photoreceptor cells in the retina are damaged the brain’s immune cells respond and neutrophils are not recruited to help despite passing through nearby blood vessels @FlaumEye via @eLife 👉 elifesciences.org/articles/98662
Here's what's on tap for Flaum and the University of Rochester at ARVO day 2! #ARVO #ARVO2025
📷 Advanced Retinal Imaging Alliance (ARIA) has >50 members spanning Neuroscience, Physiology, Optics ophthalmology and Biomedical Engineering Photo from '25 -our 13th yr! look for us @ARVOinfo in #saltlakecity >18 presentations @URNeuroscience @UofRBME @FlaumEye @CvsUor
#NEIfunded scientists created a new platform called “Oz” that directly controls the activity of up to 1,000 photoreceptors in the eye at once. More insights to come on sight and vision loss. @UCBerkeley @Berkeley_EECS @RoordaLab @ScienceAdvances: bit.ly/4lEI6kq
Petal of a flower? A leaf? No... the vascular network of the retina! A roadmap of super-highways and local roads to bring your vision vital resources. Research powered by @RPB_org @NatEyeInstitute @FlaumEye @URochester_SMD @CvsUor @UofRBME #FluorescenceFriday
This beauty is a ganglion cell imaged in the living eye. Humans have ~1.2 MILLION ganglion cells per eye. Each cell sends a single cable to the optic nerve... then to the brain! @CvsUor @URNeuroscience @BPoD_s @FlaumEye @UofRBME @URochester_SMD
Our lab is building a camera that measures the speed of millions of blood cells/second in the eye. It uses invisible far red-shifted light. Goal: evaluate health through the clarity of the eye elifesciences.org/articles/45077 @URNeuroscience @FlaumEye @URochester_SMD @CvsUor @UofRBME
Amazing to me: 216 years ago today, both of these men were born on the same day in 1809 *images from wikipedia #AbrahamLincoln #CharlesDarwin
Tiny immune cells constantly survey your brain. These ones are called microglia and we image them in the retina. @FlaumEye @CvsUor @URNeuroscience @RPB_org funding
Researcher Spotlight! Meet Matthew Cavanaugh, Ph.D., a Research Assistant Professor in the @HuxlinLab! His work focuses on cortical visual impairment in kids, stroke-induced blindness, visual assessments, & vision restoration therapies. #visionscience #research
How does one measure a year? If you like musicals Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes #Rent OR if you're @FlaumEye it's 66 publications in 2024 also = 3.5" of printed pages! We continue to advance eye care and treatment of ocular disease with thx to @RPB_org
Some pretty awesome ornaments on the @CvsUor holiday tree @ALPAO_SAS @FlaumEye @URNeuroscience @UofRBME
Neurons of the retina are fed by a network of vessels. Here all capillaries of a tiny volume are traced and measured revealing density, width, branch structure and depth. @FlaumEye @URNeuroscience @CvsUor @ARVOinfo doi.org/10.1167/iovs.6…
Fei Shang & Jesse Schallek @schalleklab characterization the retinal circulation of the mouse. doi.org/10.1167/iovs.6…
A treat to have Austin Roorda visit @UofR @CvsUor for the Boynton Lecture series. As always, a master in conveying complicated ideas in a simple and insightful way. Full house, standing room only @FlaumEye @UofRBME @URNeuroscience
An honor to visit @colinchu72 at the incomparable @UCLeye and @MoorfieldsBRC. Dialing in the final pieces of an adaptive optics camera installed in #london. Great collaboration between countries & institutions @CvsUor @FlaumEye @URochester_SMD and @UCLeye @UCL_Retina
#HappyHalloween from @CvsUor collaborate with us... it is your destiny... @schalleklab @FlaumEye @UofRBME @URNeuroscience @RochesterOptics @URochester_SMD
