The combined AFM / confocal fluorescence platform offers major advances for cellular and tissue-level biomedical research by cross-correlating biomolecular and topological / mechanical data. The laser lithography system provides rapid concept-to-device patterning of structures, accelerating the design process of microscale system.
These systems will accelerate research by NIH-funded investigators from Biomedical Engineering and other departments located across the Morningside and Medical Campuses.
