Research Focus：

Multiscale observation from subcellular structures to organs may lead to great breakthroughs in life science. However, it has long been restricted by the space-bandwidth product, optical aberrations, phototoxicity, and so on. I have been focusing on the great challenge of intravital mesoscale imaging and devoted myself to the interdisciplinary study of computational imaging and multiscale understanding of complicated biological phenomena. I have proposed a series of new microscopic imaging framework including camera-array-based gigapixel mesoscale microscopy, and scanning light field microscopy to overcome the barriers of intravital imaging, with orders of magnitude improvement in spatiotemporal resolution, imaging data throughput, and orders of magnitude reduction in phototoxicity for long-term observations. My study opens up a new horizon for the study of large-scale intercellular interactions in mammals. However, there remains great data challenges for analyzing and modeling the multiscale behaviors of the living systems spanning organelles, cells, tissue, and organs. Therefore, my future work plans to develop better intravital mesoscale imaging instruments and data analysis platforms for diverse applications in neuroscience, oncology, and immunology, especially for the neural coding mechanism on the basis of millions of neurons.
