1337746SunThe PIs plan to acquire a 3-D multicolor N-STORM Superresolution Microscopy System and establish aNanoscopy Laboratory of the City College of New York (CCNY). The STORM system will immediatelyenable 28 research topics or areas proposed by 21 faculty members, most of whom are leaders of theirown groups/labs, in 8 departments including Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Physics,Biology, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Physiology/Pharmacology/Neuroscience, and Microbiology/Immunology. The research activities enabled by N-STORM and performed in this project willenhance the spatiotemporal resolution of STORM, clarify a number of biomedical hypotheses andphenomena established by other means, and result in insightful novel biomedical knowledge. They willpromote teaching, training, and learning and improve basic science research, disease diagnosticassessment, and therapeutics development. The results will be broadly disseminated and applied in thefields of nanoscopy, cell biology, neurobiology, and medicine to enhance scientific, technological andclinical understanding.
