CMBI’s primary task is the development of interdisciplinary, inter-institutional, and university-industrial collaborations in imaging science. The most interesting opportunities often require such collaborations, which are very hard to start in the highly competitive Federal funding environment. The Center will provide an infrastructure that permits rapid development of new ideas.
ALIS
CMBI is also host to the Advanced Light Imaging and Spectroscopy (ALIS) Facility, which provides cutting-edge optical imaging technology, such as a lattice light sheet microscope, a serial sectioning microscope, and a pump-probe microscope.
