2bd In addition to these innovations above, I am contributing to various projects as an expert in biological imaging and analysis. I have instructed more than 80 students, postdocs, and researchers in the UPENN/CHOP neuroscience community in advanced biological imaging techniques such as two-photon microscopy, laser confocal microscopy, FRAP, FRET, and photolysis. In addition to imaging experiments, I am continuously developing various analysis algorithms such as image quantifications, calcium transient detection, peak counts and 3D visualization, automatic image thresholding using a statistical approach, and cluster analysis using various programming platforms such as Matlab and R.
21e My early research focus was the application of micro- and nanotechnology to chemical and biological analysis using various microscopy techniques including atomic force microscopy (Takano et. al., Chemical Review, 1999), electrostatic force microscopy (Takano, et al., JACS, 2001) and fiber optics-based scanning near-field optical microscopy. I was also a pioneer in applying soft-lithography-based cellular micro-patterns to basic neuroscience research using calcium imaging approach. (Takano, et al., Analytical Chemistry, 2002).

Description of Research Expertise
655 Dynamic Cellular Imaging of Nervous System Function: My research focuses on neuroscience imaging applications, particularly working on functional cellular imaging to understand the basic mechanisms of neurological disorders in animal models. I applied a high-speed confocal microscopy (up to ~300Hz frame rate) to examine onset timing of neuronal firing in seizure-like activity in the hippocampus slice. Using a statistical categorization algorithm, i.e., a model based clustering, I was able to shed light on various types of seizure-like activities that expressed both random and organized network bursting. (Takano et.al., Journal of Neuroscience, 2012). I also developed a methodology to conduct simultaneous calcium imaging and voltage-sensitive dye imaging using two-photon microscopy and high-speed CCD camera (~2kHz) (Yu et.al. 2013). I co-first authored the Nature Communication paper to report that the graphene electrode could be used to record neuronal signals while simultaneously conducting calcium imaging (Kuzum*, Takano* et. al., Nature communications, 2014). Recently, I integrated two-photon microscopy into virtual reality environment to study hippocampus place cell in awake behaving mice. Currently, I am working on characterizing hippocampus place cells in disease models such epilepsy and schizophrenia. I am also interested in integrating technologies such as eye-tracking and field potential recording during virtual reality navigation. I am also working on chloride imaging using time-correlated single photon counting based fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM).2bd In addition to these innovations above, I am contributing to various projects as an expert in biological imaging and analysis.
