Welcome to the webpage of the Microvascular Therapeutics & Imaging Laboratory at the Beckman Laser Institute, University of California, Irvine!
MTI LAB MISSION STATEMENT
- The MTI lab is dedicated to development of new technologies and methodologies that enable scientists and clinicians to study the microvasculature, which comprises the small blood vessels found throughout the body.
- We foster a cooperative environment in which postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, undergraduate students, and research staff collaborate with each other and with other scientists and clinicians to develop creative solutions tailored towards specific biological and clinical needs.
- We place a major emphasis on training the next generation of biomedical engineers and clinicians.
- Together, we envision making new discoveries that are expected to aid in our understanding of the role of the microvasculature in 1) normal physiological processes, 2) early-stage progression of many diseases, and 3) development of new treatment strategies.
News
- Mio Jiang awarded a summer research fellowshipCongratulations to Mio Jiang for being offered to participate in the NIA-funded T35 Summer Medical Student Aging and Alzheimer disease Research Training (SMAART) program! Mio, a rising second-year UCI medical student, will continue working with us during the summer on quantitative analysis of our three-dimensional cerebral microvascular maps collected from a preclinical model of Alzheimer’s disease. Congratulations, Mio!
- Poster presented by Aarti Dachepalli at the UCI UROP symposiumKudos to Aarti Dachepalli, an outstanding sophomore in Public Health Sciences, for presenting her research at the 30th anniversary UCI Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program Symposium! Aarti was definitely busy with many conversations with researchers attending the poster session. Great job, Aarti!
