Jia-Ren Lin from the Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology at Harvard Medical School was awarded best poster at the annual Society of Biomolecular Imaging and Informatics meeting held in Boston, September 2016. His work focuses on single-cell imaging, especially on developing new methods for simultaneously detecting many antigens, named cyclic immunofluorescence (CycIF). This method could be applied in different stages of drug development, from discovery phase, preclinical research to clinical research. The current works and future directions of CycIF method are summarized in the following overview.
