Nate led the team comprised of [[Ian_McIntyreIan McIntyre|Ian McIntyre]], Stephanie Lee, and Harrison Harker that created the M-OCT (Mount for Optical Coherence Tomography). The team collaborated with Kira Lathrop to create a specialized mount to image various stem cell niches of the eye during optical surgery. On Monday, September 24, 2013 the mount was used during four surgeries to diagnose degenerative disorders and help in the effort to restore sight to blind pediatric patients. The team looks to further develop the M-OCT as a tool used to help restore vision, diagnose degenerative disorders, and image areas of interest.
