Feruz Ganikhanov, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Physics at West Virginia University, is working to advance the medical industry with an alternative diagnostics tool to track biological cell processes that could lead to earlier detection of disease. In recent months, he received a National Science Foundation award valued at nearly $330,000 to explore a new approach to building laser-based instruments that have micro-imaging abilities to view and scan small, complex cell compartments without disturbing biological structures.
