Queensland High Throughput Confocal Cell Imaging facility

从基因组学和蛋白质组学的快速发展中获得的大量分子信息的解释现在需要新的高通量技术来检查细胞功能。该方案是一种高通量荧光共聚焦显微成像设备，可应用于药物发现，细胞生物学和毒理学领域。该设施允许以多孔形式研究细胞功能，细胞结构和蛋白质表达，以前所未有的速度和规模提供分析。这种共聚焦成像设备将增加到其他高通量系统，用于分析目前在格里菲斯大学建立的细胞生理学。

Interpretation of the huge amount of molecular information available from the rapid advances in genomics and proteomics now requires new high throughput technologies to examine cellular function. This proposal is for a high throughput fluorescent confocal microscopic imaging facility that can be applied in the fields of drug discovery, cell biology and toxicology. This facility allows the study of cell function, cell structure, and protein expression in multi-well format, providing analyses at a speed and scale not formerly possible. This confocal imaging facility will add to the other high throughput systems for analysis of cell physiology currently established at Griffith University.
