2020

Due to COVID, all planned travel and physical conference presentations that we have signed up for were cancelled. However, we managed to have one of our collaborator present a poster at the Biophysical Annual Society Meeting in San Diego, CA on a joint-work based on a fluorescent probe called “Mag-Fluo4”, with one of my students (Aliaksandra Reutovich*) as a co-author.


Characterization of the Ca 2+ -Mag-Fluo-4 reaction in vitro and in situ: implications for the calibration of skeletal muscle Ca 2+ transients. 64th annual meeting of the Biophysical Society, Feb 15-19, 2020, San Diego, CA.
