Biological Microscopy

The division operates a core imaging facility that uses state-of-the-art twin photon microscopy for intravital imaging. Investigators employ many other advanced techniques as well, including transgenic animal models and genomics. Faculty maintain active collaborations with other divisions on campus, including oncology, basic science and computer science.
