An ounce of prevention is better : Monitoring wildlife health as a tool for pandemic prevention.

Long-term observations of wildlife are key to understanding the ecological foundations of disease emergence. They provide unique opportunities to detect pathogens with zoonotic potential that could threaten human health but also pose a threat for the animals. [Image: see text]

Array tomography of in vivo labeled synaptic receptors.

Array tomography (AT) allows one to localize sub-cellular components within the structural context of cells in 3D through the imaging of serial sections. Using this technique, the z-resolution can be improved physically by cutting ultra-thin sections. Nevertheless, conventional immunofluorescence staining of those sections is time consuming and requires relatively large amounts of costly antibody solutions.

Studying zebrafish nervous system structure and function in health and disease with electron microscopy.

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a well-established model for studying the nervous system. Findings in zebrafish often inform studies on human diseases of the nervous system and provide crucial insight into disease mechanisms. The functions of the nervous system often rely on communication between neurons.
