Great news for @aiopticalbiolab! @HenriquesLab has been awarded #HealthResearch grant from @caixaresearch.๐
This milestone strengthens the pursue of our scientific objectives and is an important step forward for the future of our lab.๐ฆ ๐ฌ #laCaixaFoundation @itqbnova @NOVAunl
The light from high-resolution microscopes can damage cells, limiting the study of viral infection cycles.
With a #HealthResearch grant, @HenriquesLab (@itqbnova) is using AI to adjust the light in real time andโฌ๏ธour understanding of infectious diseases.
