Funded Activity Summary
Single cell imaging of trace elements by laser ablation - inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry. The precise mechanism of how many diseases function on the cellular level is not well understood. Trace elements are important to normal cellular function and have the potential to cause significant damage if delicate levels are disturbed. This project will introduce a new, cost-effective alternative to the synchrotron for mapping of trace elements in single cells. This breakthrough science will transform a common analytical instrument into a powerful new tool for probing the cellular mechanisms of chronic illness. This frontier technology will help determine the role of trace metals in the development of neurodegenerative disease.Funded Activity Details
