Morphology and Imaging Cores The Morphology and Imaging Core (MIC) is a comprehensive histopathology and specialized imaging center. The MIC has gained local and national recognition by facilitating collaborations, partners, and clients with the lasted technologies in the filed of histology; immunological and chemical detection of gene expression; imaging of cellular targets at the molecular level; underpinned by expert advice in experimental design and interpretation of results. The Core’s staff has developed stereotypes of lung tissues from emphysema models; measurement of organism burden models of tuberculosis; simultaneous detection and counting of spleen cells involved in antigen presentation; establishment of spatial corrections between interacting proteins in breast cancer; and migration of stem cells in regenerating limbs. These powerful quantitative analyses allow for striking images and informative data sets. In addition, the MIC has developed a repertoire of sophisticated software modules that allow for the seamless integration of shaded pixels to volumetric renderings of tissue elements in order to better understand, locate, and measure the exact depth of molecular manifestations. The MIC’s main purpose is to assist investigators requiring detection imaging and morphology analysis of gene and protein expression in any type of cell and tissue. The facility will provide services for sample preparation and analysis as well as training to users. One of the goals is to assure high quality, consistent reproducibility, and technical expertise to produce valid microscopy studies for presentation, publications, and grant proposals. Services, expertise, and state-of-the-art biomedical imaging services will be provided with the hope of broadening and streamlining all morphological research. Services: Locations: |
