Searching for the biomechanical risk factors of preterm birth
Morgridge scientists have developed new imaging and engineering tools to better understand the mechanical triggers of preterm birth — a health challenge that affects more than one in 10 pregnancies nationally.
Cryo-EM studies reveal the ‘high-wire act’ of bacterial replication
Genome replication in bacteria frequently breaks down. Scientists at UW–Madison and Morgridge used Cryo-EM to precisely detail how bacterial proteins act like emergency first responders, repairing broken DNA on the fly.
Super-resolution and ultra-deep: New Morgridge scientist pushes limits of imaging
New Morgridge Investigator Randy Bartels develops light microscopy and laser technology to illuminate biology we can’t currently see — such as ultra-deep imaging of tissues and large regions of cells.
Juan Caicedo joins Morgridge, UW biomedical imaging community
