Biophothonic Imaging Core

Project Description Narrative:

The project team aims to establish a shared Biophotonic Imaging Core facility at MCW equipped with a Xenogen In Vivo Imaging System with optional fluorescence imaging system and to educate and train faculty and their staff in the use of in vivo bioluminescent imaging technology.

The establishment of this new core facility will enhance the research capabilities of MCW faculty, leading to greater knowledge and new therapies for cancer, infectious diseases, autoimmune disease and stem cell transplantation.

The project will create synergy through collaboration and interdepartmental effort by promoting research that will enhance competitiveness for broader support and by leveraging expertise and assets of MCW faculty to promote discoveries that will impact the health and well-being of the citizens of Wisconsin.
