## Abstract

Biological Imaging - Summary
The Biological Imaging (BI) Module provides state-of-the-art equipment and resources for
histological analysis and analytical imaging of biological tissues, for training vision research
investigators in the use of these technologies, and to promote new collaborative studies among
established and emerging investigators. Specific Aims are: 1) To provide state-of-the-art
technology and services for Analytical Imaging and Histology which are beyond reach of
individual laboratories, and high-throughput conventional tissue processing 2) To provide
training for new investigators and staff on advanced techniques in microscopy, imaging software
and other module equipment including preparation of histological tissue and digital graphics
production, 3) To promote research of early stage investigators and foster interaction and
collaboration among a university-wide, diverse vision research community. The BI module was
extensively used in the last grant cycle and was essential for promoting innovative vision
research, including testing efficacy of novel therapies, developing and validating viral expression
vectors for gene therapy projects, investigating receptor-ligand interactions during disease,
identifying biomarkers, and validating proteomics/metabolomics data, as described below. The
BI module was used to generate data that was reported in numerous publications and included
in new grant awards. This module will continue to provide an essential resource for translational
and basic science research for investigators of the McKnight Vision Research center (MVRC).
