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.

Announcements

Fall 2024   

  • The Fall Technology Seminar Series has begun and will run through December.  Visit the News and Events page see the full schedule of invited speakers and topics
  • The BISR now offers a Quantitative Image Analysis workstation. Trainings will focus around specific use-cases and trained users will be able to book time on an in-house analysis station.  Booking available on iLab, but please contact us to discuss your needs first.
  • The Nikon A1R-HD confocal will be having its 405nm laser replced through this month.  A loaner is in place so work can continue, but contact us with any questions you have about how this may or may not affect your research.

Summer 2024

  • The BioImaging Shared Resource welcomes its latest member, James Muller, PhD who joins us as Facility Manager. James brings a wealth of microscopy knowledge and experience to our core.  Please stop by to meet him and find out how we can be of service.
  • The Nikon A1 R has been upgraded to include "HD" functionality.  Most notable and welcome to this is a significant improvement to the clarity and resolution of the high speed scan head.  Contact us to learn more.
  • The BioImaging Shared Resource has recently expanded to include management of the Perkin Elmer IVIS Lumina System housed in the Laboratory Animal Services Facility.
  • We've added a NEW SYSTEM!  The BioImaging Shared Resource is now home to the Molecular Devices Image Xpress Micro Confocal.  This high content imaging system is perfect for plates and slides alike and offers live cell imaging with both widefield and confocal modes.
