Centro di eccellenza
Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute
Located in the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute of Sinai Health, Canada’s first Nikon Centre of Excellence seeks to provide access to the latest in imaging technologies to its trainees, visiting scholars, and collaborators at the University of Toronto, the greater Toronto community and around the world. Our goal is to harness the power of advanced imaging and image analysis to address the most salient questions in cell biology and to foster meaningful relationships between our researchers and Nikon’s hardware and software development teams.
