Research Focus
Dr. Alon Greenbaum's lab at North Carolina State University focuses on developing advanced imaging techniques to study brain cells, particularly glial cells, which are important for brain health and function. Their innovative platform allows for fast and detailed analysis of entire brain tissues, helping to understand how changes in glial cell development relate to diseases like Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis. By optimizing imaging and machine learning, the lab aims to uncover the mechanisms behind brain cell production and their potential role in regenerative medicine.
