The microscope will be installed in Chicago...
- The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Wyoming $1,272,028 on September 15, 2025, to acquire a Stellaris8 Falcon STED super-resolution fluorescence lifetime confocal microscope for molecular imaging research and education. The microscope will enable real-time exploration of cellular and molecular processes in living organisms, particularly under changing environmental conditions. The instrument supports research in plant biology, microbiology, and environmental sciences, with...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded New Mexico State University $1,014,360 on August 1, 2026, to acquire a white-laser confocal microscope for multidisciplinary research. The funding supports the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), which enhances research competitiveness through capacity-building and infrastructure development for the nation's STEM enterprise. NMSU will establish the white-laser confocal system as a shared microscopy core facility...
- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded the University of Illinois $249,000 on August 5, 2026, under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to develop bone-like organoids that elucidate how immune responses influence craniofacial bone healing and regeneration. The recipient will establish bone-like organoids as predictive tools for craniofacial bone repair...
- The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering awarded the University of Idaho $139,208 on September 1, 2026, under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286) to develop and validate an AI-enhanced multimodal conversational virtual patient system for medical education. The project will create an interactive training platform that integrates medical imaging with clinical dialogue using large language models and...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research awarded Idaho State University $249,779 on September 1, 2026, under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to acquire a FluoView FV4000 confocal microscope for the university's Advanced Imaging Facility in Pocatello, Idaho. The FV4000 confocal microscope will replace an obsolete FV1000 unit and support high-resolution imaging and three-dimensional reconstruction of spatial organization in fixed and live cells across multiple research projects. The equipment will serve investigators from Idaho State University's Departments of Biological Sciences, Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Chemistry, as well as collaborators from the United States Department of Agriculture and the University of Idaho-Aberdeen Research and Extension Center. Research applications include studies of aging impacts on insulin secretion and type 2 diabetes, craniofacial development, xenobiotic-associated autoimmune disease, gene expression pathways in Plasmodium falciparum parasites causing malaria, and gamma-aminobutyric acid effects on astrocyte lipid metabolism related to Alzheimer's disease. The microscope will also support educational activities in two vertical integrated project programs—Neurobiology Across the Lifespan and Gene Regulatory Networks—and the Idaho State University Summer Student Research Program of Idaho-INBRE. The shared resource will benefit undergraduate and graduate students at Idaho State University and other universities and research institutes across Idaho. The award period runs through August 31, 2027.
