- NEW Instrument in the NeuroTechnology Studio
Leica DMI6000 Inverted Microscope
- This is an older microscope that was donated to the NeuroTechnology Studio. It is in good working condition, but provides limited options and is intended primarily for users who want to quickly check their samples’ fluorescence intensity level, or manually take fluorescence images.
- View our instrument here
- We are launching a new program of Genomics and Bioinformatics Hub
A new Brigham resource for all collaborative research, services, and training in bioinformatics at the local neuroscience community.
- The hub aims to provide collaborative research and bioinformatics support for basic and translational neuroscience research at BWH, and will operate on a fee for service basis, similar to other local bioinformatics core services.
