MS Paper Title:  Visualization and Analysis of Digital Light-Sheet Microscopy

Abstract:
The motion of cells during embryonic development is an important part of understanding how tissues and organs function in complex organisms.  The nerves within nervous systems are examples of structures that depend on cell migrations in early development.  Early neurological development of zebrafish, mice, and humans includes the migration of facial branchiomotor neurons (FBMNs), an identifiable group of motor neurons that migrate tangentially in mammals and fishes, from their origin in the rhombomere (r4) of the zebrafish hindbrain to their final destination.  There are many unanswered questions about the motion of the first FBMN, the pioneer neuron, that may be answered with computational analysis of light-sheet microscopy imaging.  Light-sheet microscopy is the only modality that images the entire organism at cellular resolution in three-dimensions, for the time-span over which migration occurs.  Visualization and analysis of the light-sheet data will be facilitated by the use of Diderot, a new parallel domain-specific language.

Luke's MS advisor:  Professor Gordon Kindlmann

A draft copy of Luke's MS paper will be available soon in Margaret Jaffey's office, Ry 156.
