This Project Grant award of $1,302,368 from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health (CFDA 93.286) program will establish a National Center for Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering at the University of Michigan. The key products and services to be delivered include: Development of miniature scanners, actuators, and sensors for fiber-coupled microendoscopes to improve imaging capabilities such as field-of-view, signal-to-noise ratio, contrast, frame rate, and temporal resolution. Creation of advanced fiber-coupled microendoscopes using single-axis confocal, multiphoton, and dual-axes confocal photoacoustic imaging modalities for live in vivo imaging. Development of software for image registration, processing, and machine learning models for automated digital pathology, as well as protocols for correlative live and postmortem imaging with molecular analysis. The center aims to serve as a national resource for microsystems-based imaging technologies and provide training on these advanced imaging techniques for both junior and outside investigators. The award period runs from May 2025 through April 2030.
