Emily Gibson, assistant professor of bioengineering, and colleagues with the CU School of Medicine and CU Boulder have created a miniature, fiber-optic microscope that can look deep inside a living brain. Their work was featured in the Denver Post on May 12. The research was made possible by a $1M grant from the National Science Foundation and will also be featured on the NSF website.
