Laser microdissection microscopy system for cell and development biology

纽卡斯尔大学在其生物和生命科学方面投入了大量资金，以建立一个专注于生物技术和环境保护国家研究重点的研究网络。活细胞激光显微切割平台将被研究发育生物学、细胞内信号级联、细胞周期动力学、植物发育和微生物学等战略重要领域的科学家利用。此外，该大学的研究组合的这一组成部分在澳大利亚年轻科学家的研究生培训中发挥着重要作用，这些科学家将反过来推动生命科学和生物技术行业的未来发展。

The University of Newcastle has invested heavily in its biological and life sciences to create a research nexus focusing on national research priorities in biotechnology and environmental protection. The live cell laser microdissection platform will be utilised by scientists researching such strategically important areas as developmental biology, intracellular signalling cascades, cell cycle dynamics, plant development and microbiology. Moreover, this component of the University's research portfolio plays a major role in the postgraduate training of young Australian scientists who will, in turn, fuel future developments in both the life sciences and biotechnology industries.
