The CALL 4HELP meeting place gives you support in light microscopy and image analysis
RESEARCH SUPPORT. As a way to create an informal and easily accessible forum for support in light microscopy, image acquisition, and analysis, the Centre for Cellular Imaging (CCI) started a monthly ‘CALL4HELP’ support session for researchers. The CALL4HELP consists of open hours (13:00-15:00) for discussion and consultation every 3rd Friday of the month. ‘All are welcome to participate, no matter the stage of the project you are at. While you don’t have to be a current user at CCI to…
Development of Smart Microscopy at CCI Receives SSF Fellows Grant
CONDITIONS FOR RESEARCH. The development of next generation smart microscopy involves a powerful combination of automated end-to-end imaging workflows, image analysis, and machine learning strategies. Rafael Camacho, scientific officer at CCI who works with this development, received the SSF Research Infrastructure Fellows 2 program – a SEK 15 million grant spread over a five-year period with the aim to continue the development of smart microscopy. Since the project is carried out…
A new regulatory molecule in mitochondria opens a new research field
NEW STUDY. Scientists at the University of Gothenburg and Karolinska Institute have identified a particular molecule that regulates the expression of mitochondrial genes in human cells. Their study is published in the journal Cell. In the long term, the discovery may enable new therapies for several severe diseases. Mitochondria are found in almost all the body’s cells, and their key function is to convert energy from our food into the…
Two more units from Core Facilities are now part of SciLifeLab
RESEARCH CONDITIONS. After national and international evaluations, Proteomics and the Center for Cellular Imaging (CCI) at Sahlgrenska Academy’s Core Facilities are now set to be part of SciLifeLab. The units will join the SciLifeLab platforms Clinical Proteomics and Immunology and Cellular and Molecular Imaging. “It is our teams’ hard and long-term work that has made this possible, and we are very happy that we now will fit within the framework…
