The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director awarded The Washington University $750,000 under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) on May 15, 2026, to acquire an Abberior Mirava 3D Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscope for installation at the Washington University Center for Cellular Imaging (WUCCI). The instrument will enable nine investigators from six departments to conduct super-resolution fluorescence microscopy imaging of molecular structures in fixed and live tissues and cells at approximately 40-nanometer resolution, exceeding the capabilities of existing campus microscopy platforms. The microscope operates with an interface and workflow similar to conventional confocal microscopy, facilitating rapid adoption by the research community while requiring minimal modifications to standard sample preparation protocols. The research applications enabled by this infrastructure investment span diverse biomedical disciplines, including studies of primary cilia, actin cytoskeleton dynamics, lipid storage and membrane biology, kidney glomerular filtration mechanics, cochlear synapse receptor organization, pancreatic islet hormone secretion, and neuroinflammation biomarkers. As a shared technology resource within WUCCI, the system will support both basic and translational research initiatives across the institution. The award period extends through May 14, 2027, with the university responsible for long-term instrument maintenance and operational administration.Federal Grant Award Summary
