Cell imaging: encloses the techniques that allow the detection and analysis of cellular organelles and macromolecules. Live cell imaging was pioneered in the first decade of the 20th century, and is used by scientists to obtain a better understanding of biological function through the study of cellular dynamics.
With nearly 9 million covered lives serviced through over 150 medical centers, the VA is one of the largest, unified Healthcare System within the United States. Embedded within this system is...
With prospective clinical sequencing of tumors emerging as a mainstay in cancer care, there is an urgent need for clinical support tools that aid clinicians in their decision making. To this...
