Bioengineer elected to the National Academy of Inventors
Lingyan Shi was elected as a senior member of the National Academy of Inventors. She is an expert in imaging and spectroscopy technologies, such as stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) nanoscopy. This imaging technique can visualize chemical signatures such as molecular bonds in cells, tissues or animals without the need for fluorescent markers typically used in biological microscopy. The technology can be a powerful tool for diagnosing and assessing the impact of therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and aging processes, as well as for drug discovery. Full Story
