On Tuesday, April 28, the IRB Barcelona/PCB Advanced Digital Microscopy Facility (ADM) will be officially inaugurated. Julien Colombelli, manager of the ADM, will present the new service at 12h in the Fèlix Serratosa Auditorium of the Barcelona Science Park. The presentation will be followed by guided tours of the facility.
The Advanced Digital Microscopy Facility, run jointly by the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) and the Barcelona Science Park (PCB) will offer state-of-the-art services for both image processing, and data interpretation and presentation, including 2-photon microscopy, Spinning Disk Confocal, Total Internal Reflection (TIRF), laser based dissection and in vivo nanosurgery, and automated imaging.
The Facility also aims to develop and combine microscopy techniques to accelerate access to newly developed approaches and promote scientific collaborations using imaging. The ADM offers routine systems and custom platforms.
Julien Colombelli is a physicist specializing in the field of digital microscopy. He joined IRB Barcelona in 2008, after having worked as a research specialist at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany.
