Andreas Velten: Taking imaging to new extremes
Unlike many of us, Andreas Velten loves working in windowless rooms. His research tools are shrouded in sealed black boxes to keep out unwanted light. He’s been known to cover red building exit signs to extinguish any trace of visual noise.
Targeting HIV with live cell imaging
Using an imaging technique that illuminates viral behavior within live cells, a team of scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the Morgridge Institute for Research are identifying new targets to derail the disease-spreading machinery of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Anthony Gitter: Taking the statistical road less traveled
Much of biostatistics involves finding and mapping the predictable pathways that can tell us something about what makes a disease tick. But Anthony Gitter finds equal importance in the statistical back roads that other scientists might ignore.
Kevin Eliceiri to bring multi-scale imaging focus to Morgridge Institute
Scientific imaging has long been a research strength at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, home of major advances in cellular-scale optical imaging, human-scale medical imaging and many spaces in between.
