PROJECT SUMMARY - BIO-IMAGING AND CONFOCAL MICROSCOPY The Bio-Imaging and Confocal Microscopy Core at OHSU will provide instrumentation and support for fluorescence and confocal microscopy, as well as rodent optical coherence tomography (OCT) to enhance and facilitate vision research at OHSU. The major instrumentation and expertise are already in place at the Casey Eye Institute (CEI). Past P30 support of imaging systems at the CEI has been extremely successful, with data from the supported instruments featuring in 61 publications during the previous 5-year funding period. Dr. Catherine Morgans, an expert in confocal and fluorescence microscopy, will continue to serve as Director of the Bio-Imaging and Confocal Microscopy Core, and Dr. Renee Ryals, expert at rodent OCT, will provide guidance and training to new OCT users. Training opportunities and access to instruments will be available to all principal investigators, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students engaged in vision research at OHSU.
