LOUISIANA COBRE: OBESITY & DIABETES RES: CELL BIOLOGY & BIOIMAGING CORE

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Core Aims - The Cell Biology and Bioimaging (CBB) Core was organized in response to the specific needs of the researchers at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center and its purpose is to develop and provide state of the art bioimaging approaches to study signaling processes in live cells. The CBB Core provides access to state of the art imaging, analytical, and histological equipment as well as technical expertise and assistance to researchers at the PBRC, LSU's main campus, and outside the LSU university system. The CBB Core web site provides a list and description of the capabilities of the analytical platforms supported within the facility. http://labs/pbrc.edu/cellbiology/index.htm Located centrally in the new Basic Sciences Building, the CBBC occupies two rooms - L4076 and L4016. The imaging and analytical core in L4076 houses a Zeiss 510 META NLO confocal microscope, a 3I Everest imaging system based on a Zeiss Axioplan 2 upright microscope, a Zeiss Axiovert 40 CFL, Zeiss Axioskop 40, Nikon TE-2000U inverted scope, a Molecular Devices FlexStation and a BD FACSCalibur flow cytometer. In L4016 you can find two Microm cryostats (HM 550 and 560 models), a Microm HM 355S rotary microtome and a Vibratome 1500. PBRC personnel may sign up to use equipment on which they have been trained either by contacting one of the CBB Core's staff or signing up using the Meeting Request option within Microsoft Outlook. Researchers from outside PBRC may contact the CBBC to set up an appointment with core staff.
