An interdisciplinary research team including Wynn Burke, research consultant, and Dr. William Grady, professor (Gastroenterology) recently found a more accurate and less labor-intensive way to diagnose malignancies.
The team began by pioneering a new imaging technology called Open-Top Light Sheet (OTLS) microscopy—in which whole tissue specimens are treated with specific reagents to render them optically clear before being stained and imaged in 3D on a specially-equipped microscope.
