A brief summary of Dr. Strömblad's research
Prof. Strömblad’s laboratory relies heavily on live cell imaging to produce outstanding scientific achievements in the fields of cancer biology and cell migration. Within his research group, Assistant Professor John G. Lock is leading and coordinating the Systems Microscopy Platform, implementing novel analytical approaches to unravel the wiring of cell migration. Systems Microscopy is a quantitative approach based on systematically imaging randomly migrating cells to generate multiparametric datasets that capture the heterogeneity of the biological system, combined with advanced mathematical data analysis (Lock and Strömblad, Exp Cell Res, 2010; Lock et al, 2014).
Why use Nikon Instruments systems?
Nikon A1 and A1R microscopes have been a fundamental tool to perform the required standardized, systematic live cell imaging experiments, leading to the very recent publication of elegant papers. These address the role of different levels of expression of the adhesion-related protein Talin in cell migration behavior (Kiss et al., Integr Biol, 2015), as well as the role of molecular-level Vinculin-mediated force transmission in the plastic modulation of adhesion complex dynamics (Hernandez-Varas et al., Nat Commun, 2015).
