Imaging Center
The Imaging Center at ATLATL is designed to help teams visualize biology, validate mechanisms, and generate decision-ready data quickly.
By integrating advanced microscopy, high-content imaging, and in vivo imaging systems, the platform enables researchers to study biological processes across molecular, cellular, and whole-animal levels. From intracellular dynamics to tumor progression, the platform provides high-resolution, real-time insights that accelerate discovery and translational research.
Located within ATLATL’s bio-hubs, scientists work side-by-side with imaging experts, enabling rapid experiment setup, real-time troubleshooting, and faster iteration. By combining imaging with downstream analysis, teams can move efficiently from observation to actionable conclusions.
