We are very happy that our research team behind the collaborative project Quantum-Assisted Volumetric Imaging AppaRatus (QAVIAR) for Fast and Background-Free 3D Imaging of Whole Live Animals,” was announced as a winner of Stage 1 of the NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences Quantum Sensing Technology Challenge.

This international collaboration has been a very fulfilling journey.  Effective communications in the form of prompt email correspondence, regular Zoom meetings and frequent site visits between Team Hopkins and Team Tokyo helps us make good progresses. Thank you everyone!

Team Hopkins enjoyed lots of snacks from Tokyo (courtesy: Dr. Noboru Ikeya).

Good discussion over dinner with Noboru and Shogo at the end of a hot day in Tokyo (August 2025)- the mastermind Jonny was on vacation and missed the dinner.
