Image Analysis Lab
Welcome from the Director
Welcome to the Image Analysis Laboratory (IAL) website. The IAL
was established in 1987 to serve microscopy and imaging needs of
the investigators in the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM). The
laboratory has expanded to serve a broader cross section of the
university in addition to researchers from outside of the
university. The laboratory is now a facility core for both the
interdisciplinary NIEHS-supported Center for Environmental and
Rural Health and Superfund Basic Research Program Project, a
Toxicogenomics Program Project, and microscopy resource for the
various interdisciplinary faculties that involve CVM faculty and
students.
Our goal is to provide state-of-the-art optical microscopy
technologies for research and teaching in life sciences. Emphasis
is placed on integration of advances in vital analytical cellular
imaging and fluorescence probe technologies to provide some of the
most sensitive approaches for analysis of the molecular aspects of
cellular function, an approach we refer to as "cellulomics."
