The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a $400,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.351 - Research Infrastructure Programs) to the University of Colorado-Denver Anschutz Medical Campus to acquire a state-of-the-art high-parameter fluorescence imaging platform, the Lunaphore Comet. This instrumentation will be integrated into the university's Human Immune Monitoring Shared Resource (HIMSR) core facility, which specializes in developing customized high-parameter multiplex immunohistochemistry (MIHC) tissue imaging assays. The Lunaphore Comet will expand HIMSR's capacity to support approximately 100 researchers per year, enabling more affordable and flexible hyperplexing capabilities beyond the existing mass spectrometry imaging system. This award will enhance the university's ability to analyze complex tissue microenvironments and support a diverse portfolio of NIH-funded biomedical research projects in areas such as oncology, dermatology, hepatology, nephrology, and hematology.
