Service Spotlight
Cell and Tissue Imaging Shared Resource (CTI-SR)
The Cell and Tissue Imaging Shared Resource (CTI-SR), also known as the BRCF Microscopy Core, has provided consistent support for Rogel members seeking access to cutting-edge light and electron microscopy equipment and expertise. CTI-SR operates 15 high-end imaging systems across three campus locations (BSRB, Med Sci II, NCRC) providing convenient access to our researchers.
The SR recently announced the addition of Gary Luker, M.D. as Faculty Director effective July 1, 2024. He joins Managing Director, Jennifer Peters, Ph.D., as part of the leadership team. Together, they seek to add new instrumentation, technical expertise, services, and educational opportunities to increase the number of investigators integrating imaging and image analysis into their research. Dr. Luker’s experience and expertise utilizing model systems for cancer biology and molecular imaging will undoubtedly benefit Rogel members who use advanced imaging tools in their cancer investigations.
In August, Dr. Luker and Dr. Peters hosted an Open House of the newly renovated NCRC facility (pictured). Users were able to tour the location and learn about available Nikon technologies including the W1-SoRa, an inverted spinning disk confocal system for imaging of live samples and the A1si inverted confocal microscope with a spectral detector for imaging dyes with highly overlapping emission profiles.
News and Updates
Flow Cytometry adds Aurora and retires Fortessa
The Flow Cytometry Shared Resource (FLOW-SR) has added a Cytek Aurora CS Spectral Cell Sorter to the NCRC location (B20-134WD). This cell sorter utilizes the same 5-laser optical bench and SpectroFlo software for ease in transferring assays from analyzer to sorter.
The BD Fortessa analyzer in BSRB is being removed from service as of November 1st. The final day to run samples is October 31st. FLOW-SR staff are available to help you transfer assays from the Fortessa to another platform.
Former Transgenic Animal Models director to present at workshop
The NIH Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) invites you to register for an upcoming virtual, free workshop on “Cryopreservation and Other Preservation Approaches for Animal Models.” The workshop will be a series of virtual sessions beginning September 6, 2024, and continuing into 2025.
Thomas Saunders, Ph.D., founding director of the Transgenic Animal Models Shared Resource, will present at Session IV, from 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm, on Wednesday, October 16.
Register for specific sessions or the entire series.
Flow-SR holds lunch & learn
Join Dave Adams, FLOW-SR managing director, as he speaks on the principles of flow cytometry as well as spectral vs. conventional cytometry.
This seminar will be offered on two separate dates:
- October 21, Noon - 1 p.m., NCRC B300-376
- November 1, Noon - 1 p.m., Med Sci 2, room 3695, North Lecture Hall
Everyone is welcome, and lunch will be provided so be sure to register.
Pharmacokinetics hosts MALDI imaging applications event
The Pharmacokinetics Shared Resource (PK-SR) is hosting representatives from Bruker Scientific and the University of Michigan to discuss MALDI approaches and their utility in Cancer, Regenerative Medicine, and Drug Discovery & Localization.
This meeting will be held on:
November 12, 9 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
NCRC B520, Room 1122
