Cohort 2 student Neshika Wijewardhane publishes a paper in the Journal of Micro and Bio Robotics entitled ‘Long-term imaging and spatio-temporal control of living cells using targeted light based on closed-loop feedback’.
Neshika had the following to say about her publication: ‘This publication showcases the 2nd iteration of the DOME in my PhD project. We present a robotic device that is able to image and illuminate living cells with light at a higher intensity, with additional fluorescence imaging (Fluoro-DOME). We can image cells long-term, illuminate the leading edge of a wound over time, and autonomously alter the light pattern in real time to restructure the illumination on the wound edge.
With this iteration, we could set up the autonomous real-time frontier illumination of the leading edge of the wound. Currently, I am optimising the light irradiation regime to aid in accelerated wound healing and closure.’
