Chung Lab Featured in MIT News: Breakthrough Technologies for Protein Labeling of Intact Tissues

We are excited to share that our lab’s latest innovations have been featured in MIT News! The article showcases the new CuRVE and eFLASH technologies, which enable ultrafast and uniform protein labeling across tens of millions of densely packed individual cells in fully intact 3D tissues with unprecedented precision and scalability. This breakthrough addresses critical challenges in studying complex biological systems, such as brain tissue and organoids, where dense cellular environments often hinder detailed protein analysis. By integrating advanced molecular engineering, high-resolution imaging, and computational analysis, our approach allows for more accurate characterization of protein distributions in situ. This innovation significantly improves the speed and accuracy of protein visualization, unlocking new possibilities for biological and neuroscience research.
