Muktar is now our ambassador in Nigeria, sharing the power of HSI-Phasors for basic biomedical problems. His impact on our group has been significant, and while we'll miss him, I believe this is just the start of a strong bond between our groups 🇺🇾🔬🇳🇬
See you soon Muktar! Safe travels

Today we are saying goodbye to a fantastic visitor we host in the past 3 months Muktar Lawan from 🇳🇬 BioRTC
He has learned #HSI & #Phasors for studying neurodegeneration in African ancients cell lines
Thanks @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social @focalplane.bsky.social Mahmoud Maina for support & trust

Modulation of host cell membrane biophysics dynamics by Neospora caninum: A study using LAURDAN fluorescence with hyperspectral imaging and phasor analysis

Neospora caninum is known to manipulate host cell organelles and recruit lipids for its survival. However, the impact of this lipid redistribution on host cell membranes remains poorly understood. Th...
