    Multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI) is a novel approach to immunohistochemistry (IHC) that uses secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and antibodies labeled with elemental mass tags to visualize dozens of proteins simultaneously in a single tissue section. MIBI is compatible with standard formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue specimens, the most common sample type in clinical repositories worldwide, and can achieve single molecule sensitivity across a five log dynamic range at resolutions equivalent to brightfield microscopy. In recent work, MIBI was validated for imaging breast tumor tissue sections stained with clinically relevant metal-conjugated antibodies via side-by-side comparison with an FDA-approved quantitative image analysis platform. Since that time, my lab has validated over sixty antibodies and has constructed a 45-plex MIBI panel for characterizing phenotypic and epigenetic features of epithelial, stromal, and infiltrating immune cells in clinical breast tumor biopsies. Analogous approaches with metal conjugated oligonucleotides have also been used for multiplexed DNA and RNA ISH. Finally, to permit broader use of this method, we have designed and constructed novel instrumentation optimized for MIBI that is capable of super resolution imaging and one hundred fold faster sample throughput. Taken together, these tools are being used by lab to comprehensively enumerate immune cell populations in normal and neoplastic solid tissues, to develop clinical classifiers for predicting disease progression in pre-invasive cancer lesions, and to discover epigenetic drivers of epithelial to mesenchymal transition.

    In this talk I am going to outline our recent works in chemical and bio-sensing, particularly in detection of low molecular weight analytes, such as mycotoxins, using the method of total internal reflection ellipsometry.
    I’ll also review some other optical methods using the detection of phase of electromagnetic waves which could be exploited for scaling down the spectroscopic ellipsometry instrumentation. The application of methods of LSPR and SERS in gold nanostructures for bio-sensing will be discussed as well as our joint recent results in spectroscopic ellipsometry study of gold nano-islands formed by annealing of thin gold films.

    I discuss the recent theoretical prediction and the experimental confirmation by LHCb of an exotic baryon which contains five quarks, including hidden charm. This discovery can best be understood in the context of earlier discoveries of doubly heavy exotic mesons. When viewed this way, the discov-ery of the new exotic baryon strongly suggest existence of many more analogous exotic states, with both charmed and bottom quarks. Specific predictions are given for masses and decay modes
    of these states, as well as possible ways to observe them in experiments.

    In this seminar, I will introduce the fundamentals of guided optics. A brief overview will be given over design, fabrication and characterization of integrated optical components and microfluidic channels. I will focus on the conceptual importance of the integrated optics and surface modification for chemo- and bio-applications. The potential of disorder-enhanced photonics in vibrational spectroscopy on waveguides will be discussed and new directions will be proposed. Vibrational spectroscopy relies on absorption of electromagnetic radiation by molecular vibrations. It is a powerful tool for drawing information on molecular structure and dynamics. In the first part of the talk I will present an intriguing physical effect of disorder-enhanced absorption of light by molecular overtones of amines in a: 1) silicate channel waveguide and 2) microtapered fiber with adsorbed gold nanoparticles. Due to the guides’ surface modification, aromatic rings tend to stack together, and N-H bonds in amines form hydrogen bonds with each other. This 8 nm thick multilayer structure of lamellar liquid crystal shape leads to the switch from ballistic to diffusive propagation of light which results in the enhanced absorption. I will also address a dynamics of absorption as a function of time of adsorption of the organic molecules on waveguide. These phenomena are expected to find application in organic solution based optical sensors for detection of explosive materials and diagnostics of psychoactive stimulants based on amines. In the second part of the talk, I will present a theoretical study of composite plasmonic waveguide structures for design of integrated optical components and Purcell enhanced chemiluminescence in a microfluidic channel.
