Biography:
Congwu Du is a professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, a member of Program committee of International Conference on Photonic and Imaging in Biology and Medicine, and a member of Program Committee of Neurophotonics, International Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE). Professor Congwu Du received her bachelor's and master's degrees in science from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 1985 and 1988, and stayed at the Department of Optical Engineering. In 1993, she went to the Medical University of Lübeck, Germany, and received her Ph.D. in biomedical engineering in 1996. She then went to the United States. In 1997 and 1999, she completed postdoctoral research at the University of Pennsylvania and Carnegie Mellon University. In 2002, she became a research Assistant Professor at the University of Stony Brook, and was promoted to Associate Professor of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 2009. In 2010, she served as a scientist in the Medical Department of the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York. Since 2014, she has been a tenured professor in the department of biomedical engineering at the state university of New York at stony brook. Professor Congwu Du's research includes optical neuroimaging models and advanced optical techniques for transformable research. As a PI or PD/PI, Professor Congwu Du has successfully administered multiple projects, collaborated with other researches, and published over 90 publications. Professor Congwu Du has a demonstrated record of successful and productive research projects in an area of high relevance for Ca2+ imaging for brain function studies especially for neuroimaging of brain circuits and their changes in brain diseases such as addiction.
Abstract:
Professor Congwu Du’s group developed multi-modal optical imaging techniques that enables simultaneous image of large-scale neuronal/astrocytic Ca2+ signaling along with cerebral blood flow within the neurovascular network of brain in vivo, which have been used to study the brain functional changes in drug addiction.
报告摘要：
Congwu Du 教授团队开发了多种光学成像技术，能够同时对大量神经元或星形胶质细胞的 Ca2+信号以及相关脑神经血管网络的血流进行成像，这些技术已用于药物成瘾引起的脑功能变化的研究中。
