Notice text
BACKGROUND
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI), Center for Cancer Research (CCR), Laboratory of Cell Biology (LCB) is focused on research that studies what drives selection of the sites of metastasis during cancer progression. To further its research, the LCB seeks to increase the throughput of its zebrafish model, allowing researchers in the lab to rapidly image the entire fish without compromising spatial resolution and to examine sub-cellular protrusions in multiple organs with near simultaneity. Thus, the LCB seeks to procure a new confocal system and inverted microscope with a larger field of view and higher spatial resolution.
