卓越中心
KU Leuven
The VIB Bio Imaging Core at the VIB – KU Leuven Center for Brain has the goal to support imaging from in vitro to in vivo, from millimeter to Ångström, from morphology to mechanism and from image to information. The mission is to facilitate and lower as much as possible the threshold for scientists to get access to know-how for microscopy experiments and measurement time on state-of-the-art devices. The core enables the scientific questions in the center and beyond, by providing researchers with input for experimental design, image acquisition, and novel image analysis schemes. A general aim is to innovate and lead by state-of-the-art imaging.
The core has a broad portfolio and supports many applications from super-resolution to the mesoscale. The core runs 10+ high-end devices and takes pride in its support for image analysis (infrastructure and expertise). The core’s research focuses on the development of new imaging technology and analysis that is connected to the neurodegenerative focus of the center.
Overall, neurons, neuronal tissue as well as whole organs from a multitude of model systems are the daily imaging business in this core, and the experts in this unit are employing a vast number of different applications for empowering the research of its users.
Reach out to us; we are happy to engage with your science.
