The Cell and Tissue Imaging Core Laboratory is committed to excellence in research
and education. We provide expert technical assistance and instrumentation in support
of investigators.
The Core also educates graduate students in the basic principles of imaging. The core
is directed by Dr. Graydon Gonsalvez. Daily operations and maintenance are the responsibility
of Dr. Rachel Cui.
