Talk: "My presentation will highlight emerging opportunities in imaging, sensing, and modulating organelles within live cells and microorganisms. First, I will introduce our recently published work on the segmentation of up to 15 distinct organelle structures. I will then present our latest progress in developing high-speed, high-throughput, and super-resolution imaging systems, along with algorithms for organelle segmentation and data analytics to map interconnectivity within organelle networks. These advances offer unprecedented insights into the nanoscale world inside living systems. Research in organelle diagnostics and therapies represents a "blue ocean" for future multidisciplinary endeavors. I will showcase several recent important discoveries and technology delevelopments from our group, including: The first observation of Insulin Growth Factor 1 (IGF1) transportation pathway, a complete picture of the mitochondrial fission process, and a series of organelle imaging techniques tailored for bacterial antibiotic and antifungal susceptibility testing."
