Our committed and talented undergraduate research intern Tony Zheng was recognized for his excellent research, with the honor of the Best Poster Award at the 18th Nano-Bio Symposium. Tony has been working on the project in which we used a novel label-free interreference-based  microscopy to study the dynamics of subcellular components, and to deduce the health state of cells and tissues.  Tony’s poster, entitled “Ultrasensitive and Label-Free Measurement of Cellular Health State by Quantum-Limited Light Scattering”, made an impression among the symposium attendees and the poster judges! This ambitious project is a collaboration between our group and groups led by Prof. Warwick Bowen (University of Queensland) and Prof. Luo Gu (JHU). We are very pleased that Tony’s efforts were recognized. We look forward to report more interesting findings in an upcoming paper very soon. Congratulations Tony!

Thanks to Junjie’s documentation of this happy moment!
