July 2026: We developed a new genetically encoded, scattering-based reporter – an unbleachable alternative to fluorescent proteins – that enables large-scale, quantitative, cell-specific investigations. The work is now available on bioRxiv.

July 2026: Jian Ren received the Massachusetts General Brigham’s Claflin Career Development Award, recognizing his promise as an emerging leader in academic medicine.

June 2026: We demonstrated high-throughput visualization of amyloid pathology across whole mouse brains by modulating tissue scattering. The work is now available on bioRxiv.

June 2026: Jian Ren received the Trailblazer Award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), recognizing his innovative and high-impact biomedical research.

January 2026: Our work utilizing deep learning to reduce speckles in scattering coherent tomography of cleared samples is now online at bioRxiv.

January 2026: Our work on large-volume tomography fusion techniques is now online at bioRxiv.
