Summary:
Needleman combines polarized-light microscopy, second-harmonic generation, single-molecule tracking, and fluorescence-lifetime (FLIM) metabolic imaging to study self-organization of the mitotic spindle and, in a clinically translated direction, non-invasive metabolic imaging of human oocytes and embryos for IVF viability assessment — an orientation- and lifetime-resolved imaging program with an active human-trial/clinical translation component.
