Drawing on the team’s recent Analytical Chemistry publication, “IR Map of the Human Cell”, and its broader research across 2D and 3D cellular models, Professor Malek will demonstrate how label-free vibrational imaging can distinguish nuclei, cytoplasm, lipid-rich and glycogen-rich regions—and reveal biochemical changes associated with differentiation, metabolism, disease and cell-cell interactions.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

•    How FTIR, submicron O-PTIR and Raman imaging provide complementary views of cellular chemistry
•    How spectral “barcodes” differentiate nuclei, cytoplasm and lipid- or glycogen-rich cellular regions
•    How chemometrics and biomolecular reference modelling help unravel heavily overlapping biological spectra
•    How these approaches can phenotype bladder-cancer cells, monitor stem-cell differentiation and investigate neuronal spheroids and blood-brain-barrier models
•    What changes when vibrational imaging moves from isolated cells to complex 2D and 3D biological systems
