Bringing Laser Capture Microscopy Technology to the University of Bristol

我们是一个多学科的研究团队，致力于广泛的主题。我们研究心脏、肾脏功能、大脑连接和再生、伤口愈合、压力等。为了我们的工作，我们需要从单个细胞到整个动物和人类参与者。这意味着我们需要研究在复杂环境中包含多种类型细胞的复杂生物样本。在这份提案中，我们要求一个先进的激光捕获-微操作平台，使我们能够放大单个细胞。我们不仅想要分离这些细胞，还想用微观的激光镊子来操纵它们，并在精心控制的实验条件下做到这一点。这将是一个极好的机会来扩大我们的研究，以便我们能够继续产生具有真正潜力的变革性研究，以改善整个生命过程的健康和福祉。

We are a multidisciplinary team of researchers working on a wide range of topics. We study the heart, kidney function, brain wiring and regeneration, wound healing, stress, etc. For our work we need to go from single cells to whole animals and human participants. This means we need to study complex biological samples that contain multiple types of cells in complex environments. In this proposal we are requesting an advanced Laser Capture-Micromanipulation platform that will allow us to zoom in at individual cells. We want not just to isolate these cells but also to manipulate them using microscopic laser tweezers and to do this under carefully controlled experimental conditions. This would represent a fantastic opportunity to expand our research so that we can continue to produce transformative research with real potential to improve health and wellbeing across the life course.
