ECpE professor develops technology to help neuroscientists observe cells and understand diseases
Ames, Iowa — When neuroscientists grow live cells today, they place a petri dish of cells in a temperature- and gas-controlled incubator and hope the cells grow without problems. They can observe the cells only by removing them from the incubator and placing them under a light or electron microscope. Santosh Pandey, an assistant professor …Continue reading “ECpE professor develops technology to help neuroscientists observe cells and understand diseases”
