At
Professor Feng Xu’s invitation, Prof. Linbo Liu, Prof. Chenjie Xu, Prof. Dong-An
Wang visited BEBC on 12th April, 2017 and gave reports in the 308
meeting room in the School of Life Science and Technology.
Firstly,
Prof. Linbo Liu delivered a report entitled “Seeing the unseen using Micro-OCT”,
presenting a novel imaging technology termed Micro-Optical Coherence Tomography
(μOCT) and its applications in visualizing key sub-cellular structures and
pathophysiological processes ex vivo and in vivo. Then, Prof. Chenjie Xu talked
about “Cell Labeling and Imaging with Smart Nanoparticles for regenerative
medicine”. And Prof. Wang, Dongan introduced “Living Hyaline Cartilage Graft (LhCG) for
Cartilage Repair and Anti-Arthritis Drug Evaluation” to us. Teachers and
students in BEBC were very interested in these topics and had a heated discussion
with professors.
After that, they were invited to look around the
labs of BEBC.
