Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities - Grant ID: LE140100166

Funded Activity Summary

Imaging Cell and Tissue Architecture using Confocal and Super-Resolution Microscopy. Imaging cell and tissue architecture using confocal and super-resolution microscopy: This project aims to understand how the architecture of cells and tissues is controlled. This is because the organisation of biological space underpins the function of cells, tissues and organisms. This project will test the role of identified parts of cell architecture in regulating specific animal functions/pathologies. It will do this by using new microscope technologies which are at the frontier of visualising cell structure in isolation and in the context of tissue including application to the living animal. The dynamic organisation of structures in cells will be imaged in living tissue. Novel insights into structure/function relationships in the body will impact the health industry and generate opportunities for new diagnostics and therapeutics.
