Prototipo de microscopio volumétrico para neurofisiología óptica
Estamos desarrollando una nueva clase de microscopio volumétrico para realizar neurofisiología óptica rápida y localizada de todo el cerebro del pez cebra in vivo. A diferencia de los métodos de imágenes tridimensionales existentes que sacrifican sensibilidad, resolución celular o tasa de muestreo, nuestro enfoque original para el registro volumétrico es la formación de imágenes virtuales multifocales en una sola cámara usando componentes comerciales. En este proyecto implementaremos un prototipo de dispositivo de imagen que utiliza una cavidad óptica y lentes para enfocar un arreglo de imágenes virtuales en una cámara. Las tareas del proyecto incluirán construir un sistema optomecánico, alinear los componentes y realizar pruebas experimentales. Se valora la experiencia en proyectos de hardware, diseño óptico y electrónica, aunque no es necesaria.

Hardware libre para la deposición gotas microfluídicas
La clasificación de gotitas microfluídicas permite el manejo experimental de millones de experimentos de biología molecular en un día. Para seguir cultivando las células en gotitas, es necesario recogerlas e individualizarlas, lo que puede hacerse en una placa de pocillos o en una placa de cultivo. En este proyecto, el objetivo es desarrollar un sistema de deposición de gotas de este tipo utilizando métodos de creación de prototipos, ejemplos de la literatura y libre hardware.

Volumetric Microscope Prototype for Optical Neurophysiology
We are developing a new class of volumetric microscope for fast, localized optical neurophysiology of the entire zebrafish brain in vivo. Unlike existing 3D imaging methods that sacrifice sensitivity, cellular resolution, or frame rate, our novel approach to volumetric recording utilizes multi-focal virtual image formation in a single camera using readily available commercial components. This project will focus on implementing a prototype imaging device that employs an optical cavity and lenses to project an array of virtual images onto a camera. Tasks will include building the optomechanical system, performing component alignment, and conducting experimental testing. Experience in hardware projects, optical design, and electronics is welcome but not essential.

Microscope setup for wide-field optical neurophysiology
We are designing an optical neurophysiology microscope to enable measurement and stimulation of neural activity in thousands of neurons in a wide field of view spanning multiple regions of the murine brain. In this project we will plan and build the necessary hardware to integrate essential components of a custom microscope, including a camera, fluorescence filters, an array of micromirrors, light sources, among others. Tasks in this project will include designing mechanical installations, integrating mechanical, electronic and optical systems, and component alignment. Experience in mechanical design, 3D printing, optical design, hardware and electronics projects is welcome but not required

Construction of volumetric microscope prototype
We are developing a new class of volumetric microscope to enable fast, localized optical neurophysiology of the whole live zebrafish brain. Unlike existing three-dimensional imaging that compromises sensitivity, cell resolution, or framerate, our original approach to volumetric recording is multi-focal virtual image formation in a single camera using commercial components. In this project we will implement a prototype imaging device that uses an optical cavity to generate virtual arrays of images in a camera. Tasks in the project will include to build an optomechanical system, perform basic alignment, and experimental testing. Experience in hardware projects, optical design, and electronics is welcome but not required.

Optimisation of an automated stage to deposit microfluidic droplets for bio applications
Microfluidic droplet sorting allows the experimental handling of millions of molecular biology experiments in one day. To further culture cells in droplets, they need to be collected and individualised, which can be done in a well plate or culture plate. In this project, the aim is to optimise such a droplet deposition system using prototyping methods, examples from the literature and software development in python.
