Thank you HHMI for supporting our lab! Amazing honor to join the HHMI family alongside researchers I deeply admire. Thanks to everyone in our lab Caltech who made this possible and is working hard to build the future of biomolecular ultrasound. caltech.edu/about/news/mik…

#NobelPrize laureate Frances Arnold conducted the first directed evolution of enzymes. Today uses of those enzymes include more environmentally friendly manufacturing of chemicals. Arnold will be participating in this year's Nobel Week Dialogue. Join us: bit.ly/3BAqaiP

🗓️SAVE THE DATE May 29th-June 4th: #fUSbrain2022, the second edition of the workshop dedicated to functional ultrasound imaging. A perfect blend of top-level science and Corsican sceneries. Registration will open in mid-February, stay tuned! physicsformedicine.espci.fr/fusbrain2022/ IES Cargese

Thanks to the intrepid adventurers who joined us for a Shapiro Lab excursion to Catalina Island!

Delighted to join great Mikhail Shapiro (same on bsky) 🇺🇦, Richard Andersen & Lihong Wang teams and continue strengthen collaborations with Caltech ! Physics for Medicine Paris Inserm ESPCI Paris - PSL Université PSL

Excited to have you on board, this will be amazing!

A physicist, a neuroscientist and two engineers walk into a restaurant...

How do you make a protein that self-assembles, fills with air, excludes water and withstands several atm of pressure? A century-old mystery for #gasvesicles. Congrats to Przemek Przemek Dutka and colleagues Caltech on figuring this out with a beautiful CryoET structure.

Interested in Biomolecular Ultrasound & Sonogenetics? Abstract submission is open for ISBUS! Deadline 9/5. Join us & share your science! Please RT. Dec 8-11 (+ 2 opt. demo days). Pasadena, CA. Awesome lineup, inclusive agenda & travel support! isbus.org

How to track local microscopic neurovascular response and systemic blood flow changes over the entire brain at the same time? Functional Ultrasound Localization Microscopy performs such neuroimaging at micron scale, Physics for Medicine Paris article in Nature Methods nature.com/articles/s4159…

There is never a dull moment in the Shapiro lab!

New year, new Acoustic Reporter Genes! 🎉 Excited to publish ARG 2.0 – much brighter, easier to express & enabling real-time imaging. ARG2.0 >> ARG1.0 (like mCherry >> original GFP) Congrats Marjorie Buss,Mengtong (Tom) Duan,Rob Hurt et al! go.nature.com/3WM2h3e Caltech HHMI

Thanks everyone who joined us for the Shapiro Lab retreat and mini-reunion in Temecula! ❤️ my lab. (Credit to Rohit Nayak for the photography… and diving performance 😁.)

Remembering my fun day at #BBT ... #science doesn't get better than this. Biggest accolade of my life, except for a nice party in Stockholm, of course.

Can we image intracellular calcium with ultrasound? Yes, w/ultrasonic reporters of calcium - URoCs! Congrats to Zhiyang Jin and co-authors on creating the first genetically encoded acoustic biosensors of this universal cell signal based on #gasvesicles. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Real Christmas gift ! Ultrasound Localization Microscopy image of Brain vessels by our team Alexandre Dizeux Physics for Medicine Paris Charlie Demené Sophie PEZET N. Renaudin with @Iconeus @inserm Université PSL ESPCI Paris - PSL chosen by NYT Science The New York Times as 2023 Stunning New Image of the brain

Imagine if we could use ultrasound to detect changes in tumor cells in real-time. Mikhail Shapiro (same on bsky) 🇺🇦 is #ImagingTheFuture by creating acoustic biomolecules—the first-of-its-kind contrast agent that will allow ultrasound #tech to image the functions of cells deep in the body

Thanks to all the lab members and friends who joined us for the annual Shapiro Lab beach party on Hermosa Beach, CA! 🌴 Some serious hops in this group. 😁

Just in time for 🎄. Using #gasvesicles as an acoustic pressure ruler! 🔊📏 Fun collaboration with Michael Kolios lab. Congrats Eric Strohm, Di Wu Rohit Nayak and Dina Malounda.

Fun to host the lab in Paris 🇫🇷 for the EuroBUS mini-conference!
