Standards for Immuno-histochemical Imaging: A Biomarker Protein Expression Chip

Completed

Intended Impact The lack of quantitative imaging methods and reagents impedes the validation of image-based biomarkers. Improved methods for biomarker quantification and an established traceable value assignment would be useful to customers in a wide range of areas that include clinical diagnostics

Performance Benchmarking and Intensity Calibration of a Widefield Fluorescence Microscope

Ongoing

Widefield fluorescence microscopy is a highly used tool for visually assessing biological samples and for quantifying cell responses. Despite its widespread use in high content analysis and other imaging applications, few published methods exist for evaluating and benchmarking the analytical

Automated Live Cell Imaging for Quantification of Catalytic Rates in Individual Cells

Completed

In this study, the rates at which large numbers of individual living cells enzymatically degrade green fluorescent protein (GFP) was examined using automated fluorescence microscopy. A clonal population of NIH3T3 fibroblasts that resulted from stable transfection with a construct containing the

Quantum Bioimaging

Ongoing

Our efforts in BBD are focused on using the quantum nature of light to facilitate enhanced and novel measurement technologies for biological samples. For example, so-called bright squeezed laser sources enable imaging and sensing with less noise than is classically possible. Additionally, entangled
