The students at the @CSHLMouseCourse are batting a thousand with HCR. Lori @lorena_maili from @stowers shows HCR with fgf8, raldh2, and sox9 that was processed in Imaris and imaged with an AX1 confocal. Thanks @HCRimaging, @NikonInst and @ImarisSoftware for generous support!

This week’s #onlywithHCR Spotlight features Matt Benton (@DrMattBenton), Erik Clark (@ErickClark01), and Margherita Battistara (@MBattistara)!

“The fact that [#HCRimaging] is so easily applied to non-model organisms (where FISH usually doesn’t work well) has allowed us to pursue research directions that weren’t possible before.”

The stunning image below generated by Matt features a Drosophila embryo with nuclei in grey and the following RNA targets: wingless (orange), engrailed (cyan), sloppy-paired 1 (magenta), and odd-skipped (green).

This week’s Research Spotlight is on the Schulte et al. (2023) publication, “HCR spectral imaging: 10-plex, quantitative, high-resolution RNA and protein imaging in highly autofluorescent samples.” Schulte et al. illustrate 10-plex RNA imaging #withHCR in their whole-mount zebrafish embryos and mouse brain sections.

This week’s Research Spotlight is on the Lopéz et al. (2023) publication, “Molecular characterization of nervous system organization in the hemichordate Saccoglossus kowalevskii!” #HCRimaging enabled Lopéz et al. to characterize the expression of multiple neural markers, which revealed S. kowalevskii’s strong regional specialization of its nervous system.

This week’s Employee Spotlight is on our Head of Operations, Dr. @Mike_C_Liu! Mike's previous mentor, Dr. Tai, encouraged him to develop an engineering mindset that has helped him address challenges by analyzing problems, identifying resources, and devising sustainable solutions.

[Molecular Instruments @HCRimaging]

This week's #FluorescenceFriday user is Amanda Ferreira! @amandaaraujogf works with scRNA-seq data, and through #HCRimaging, she has been able to bring the knowledge she acquired in silico to the in vivo validations. Check out her stunning image of a Drosophila optic lobe here:

This week's #FluorescenceFriday user is @alexbuck1ey! Alex studies how the clustered protocadherin locus is regulated differently in diverse cell types. #HCRimaging enables Alex to map how developmental changes affect expression of different protocadherins on a single-cell level.

[Molecular Instruments @HCRimaging]

This week’s #FluorescenceFriday user is Yulong Liu! #HCRimaging enabled @yulong68 to expedite his research by validating novel gene expressions when antibodies were unavailable for the organism of interest. Check out his latest work here: https://t.co/ssvCwQFdvH

This week's Employee Spotlight is on our Senior Operations Associate, Jessica Gregg! Jessica's previous mentor, Dr. Cederquist, patiently guided her to work through problems independently, which built up her confidence levels and enhanced her critical thinking mindset.

[Molecular Instruments @HCRimaging]

This week's Employee Spotlight is on one of our Operations Associates, Thomas Fredericks! Thomas's previous mentor, Professor Levi, helped him realize that he could have a career that would allow him to engage in intellectual stimulating problem solving and work with his hands.
