Understanding how the brain functions requires deep expertise in revealing and interpreting the activities of living cells.

Guided by this philosophy, the Cellular Imaging team serves as a central repository of imaging and image analysis expertise for Columbia’s Zuckerman Institute and the university at large. We work hand-in-hand with scientists to design and carry out experiments that lead to major discoveries. Our facility provides access to state-of-the-art imaging instruments and trains researchers to use them effectively. We also contribute to the development and refinement of imaging approaches that can support research at Columbia and beyond.
