Expansion of Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy. (360G-Wellcome-094210_Z_10_Z)

£196,565

Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) has revolutionised our ability to visualise the dynamic spatio-temporal behaviour of cellular processes. This proposal describes the centrality of CLSM in the applicants ongoing research programmes and its contribution to numerous high-impact publications. The recognition of our excellence in this area has been key in the award of significant grant income ( > 12M). However, the provision of new equipment that caters for our present and anticipated requir ements has become critical to our ability to continue to conduct internationally-leading research. Without investment in new equipment, basic and translational research that is already funded through numerous agencies, including Medical Research Council, Wellcome Trust, British Heart Foundation, Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council and European Union will not be undertaken. The applicants request a new confocal system, to support the continued development of their research in l ine with user demand and technological requirements.
