MRI: Acquisition of a STORM System to Establish a Nanoscopy Laboratory at the City College of New York

PIS计划购买一个3-D多色N-STORM超分辨率显微镜系统，并建立纽约城市学院(CCNY)的纳米显微镜实验室。STORM系统将立即支持21名教职员工提出的28个研究课题或领域，其中大多数是他们所在小组/实验室的负责人，他们来自8个系，包括电气工程、生物医学工程、物理学、化学、机械工程、生理学/药理学/神经科学和微生物学/免疫学。由N-STORM启动并在本项目中进行的研究活动将提高STORM的时空分辨率，澄清一些通过其他手段建立的生物医学假说和现象，并产生有洞察力的新生物医学知识。他们将促进教学、培训和学习，并改进基础科学研究、疾病诊断评估和治疗学发展。这些成果将广泛传播并应用于纳米显微镜、细胞生物学、神经生物学和医学领域，以增进科学、技术和临床方面的了解。

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.
