Thank you to The Transmitter for highlighting some of the latest breakthroughs in photometry! As these systems continue to improve, the technology becomes more efficient, affordable & accessible, and unlocks the potential for new discoveries about the human brain 🧠

What does it take to build lasting scientific #partnerships between the U.S. & Europe? In my meeting with The Kavli Foundation’s Cynthia Friend, we discussed why strong institutions & private support matter. Grateful for ongoing collaborations between Max Planck and Kavli institutes.

If you are at Cell Press “Neurometabolism in health and disease,” don’t miss hearing about a new red-shifted dopamine sensor compatible with both fluorescence and lifetime measurements developed by Mimi KN Man from Lin Tian, PhD lab! Poster P.38, 1:30 – 3:30 Tuesday.

Since we began tracking in 2023, we've shipped over 170 biosensor samples to research teams across 4 continents! #OpenScience is a core value of the Tian Lab & we're proud to contribute by making our tools globally accessible 🌎🔬 🔗 Requests: lintianlab.org/research#tools

Proud to have had Mimi KN Man represent the Tian Lab at #CSNeuroMet2025 in Shenzhen! She presented our new FLIM sensor—compatible with both fluorescence and lifetime imaging, enabling deeper, more versatile measurements of dopamine dynamics in vivo 💡 🧠

Last week was #GradStudentAppreciationWeek–a chance to celebrate and thank the incredible Tian Lab students who move our science forward 🧑🏽‍🔬👩🏻‍🔬 Your creativity, focus & determination in the face of big questions inspire me every day, and I am so grateful to learn alongside you.

I had a great time at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience Advanced Neurotechniques Course this week, teaching a mini2P module w/ Lin Tian, PhD, Jacob Roshgadol & J Kerr! It’s been a while since I’ve stayed up that late analyzing data 😅 So impressed with our amazing students & the beautiful MPFI campus 🤩

The new Max Planck Society Postdoc Program platform is now open for its first ever round of applications! If you're looking for a new research opportunity, check out the full list of open positions👇🏽 postdocprogram.mpg.de/node/3

May is #MentalHealthAwareness Month — a time to break the stigma, raise awareness, and highlight the vital research paving the way toward better treatments. At MPFI, Dr. Lin Tian and her team are exploring how the brain’s communication networks change in conditions like
