The University of California, San Diego received a $149,212 Project Grant award from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory to develop a novel multi-photon translational microscope for cellular resolution in vivo brain imaging in freely behaving Drosophila. Funded through the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA #12.800), this award will support the recipient in maintaining technological superiority in scientific areas relevant to Air Force needs through preventing technological surprise and creating it for adversaries. The two-year project period beginning July 1, 2021 will allow UC San Diego to design and test a new microscope capable of observing brain cell activity in fruit flies as they freely move and interact with their environment, providing the Air Force with potential insights applicable to national security.
