The Microscopy and Image Analysis Core (MIAC) is supported with institutional funds.
Located on the 6th floor of the Brehm Center, the Microscopy and Image Analysis Core provides state-of-the-art microscopy and image analysis software to enhance diabetes-related research at the University of Michigan that would otherwise be beyond the scope and resources of most investigators. The MIAC provides expertise, advice, training, and access to equipment for microscopic and morphometric analysis of both protein and RNA in biologic samples in support of research focused on diabetes and its complications or related endocrine and metabolic disorders. The MIAC also provides expertise in protein targeted antibody staining for microscopy, live cell imaging and use of fluorescent probes for study of cell signaling.
The primary goal of the Microscopy and Image Analysis Laboratory is to provide MDRC researchers with expert consultation, training and support for routine and advanced microscopy and image analysis techniques. Each project begins with a consultation between the investigator and either Drs. Antonetti or Lentz to discuss the investigator’s needs and objectives.
