Sixian You: Explores the power of label-free microscopy to generate molecular contrast without staining, capturing real-time metabolic and morphological data. This includes visualizing heterogeneous immune responses and bacterial dissemination in fresh tissue—such as observing how Borrelia mimics collagen fibers to evade surveillance. Deep learning is utilized to phenotype diverse immune cells directly in their native tissue environments.
