Photoacoustic imaging, or optoacoustic imaging, combines both optical imaging and ultrasound technology to generate high-resolution images of biological tissues. Chief Editor Barbara Cheifet speaks with Drs. Vasilis Ntziachristos and Junjie Yao about how photoacoustic imaging, developed back in the 1970s, is now moving towards translational applications such as diagnostics and disease monitoring.

Biomolecular ultrasound is an exciting technology that uses sound waves to visualize tissues within the body. Chief Editor Barbara Cheifet speaks with Drs. David Maresca and Mikhail Shapiro about using ultrasound for imaging and also how the technology is being used to drive the transport of engineered molecules across cellular membranes for a wide range of applications. This includes their recent work mentioned in the episode https://doi.org/10.1126/science.ads1325 and https://www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/science.adt0293 Hosted on Acast.

Foundation models are machine learning models trained on large datasets and applicable for a wide range of use cases. Chief Editor Barbara Cheifet speaks with Drs. Brian Hie and Marie Lopez about how these models are being used for analysis of the function and structure of DNA, RNA, and proteins, and how they are being developed for clinical use.

In this episode, Associate Editor Cláudia Vilhena sits down with Ali Shaib, the lead author of an exciting new study showcasing expansion microscopy and the visualization of individual protein shapes, using standard laboratory microscopes.

Tune in as Ali and Cláudia explore the “accidental” origins of the study, the importance of mentorship and collaboration, and the democratization of super-resolution methods.

If you're curious about the intersection of super-resolution microscopy and clinical applications, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
