Mission

The goal of the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center Bioimaging Shared Resource is to advance the scientific research programs of the Cancer Center by providing Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center investigators powerful, reliable, and readily accessible light microscopy. The Bioimaging Shared Resource provides a FLIM-assisted STED (stimulated emission depletion) super-resolution system, galvo and resonnat laser point-scanning confocals, spinning disk confocal, TIRF (total internal refection fluorescence), and widefield fluorescence modalities.  The staff provides in-house training on all instruments.
