The Whitehead Institute-MIT BioImaging Center unites the power of leading-edge microscopy and advanced computational systems to study the structure, dynamics, and function of molecules in challenging problems faced by biology, medicine, and bioengineering.

N dimensions of knowledge

With state-of-the-art and custom-built equipment, biomolecular imaging can record multiple molecules in cellular processes in three dimensions over time - an n-dimensional view that eclipses the capabilities of traditional microscopy and test-tube assays. The BioImaging Center deploys the newest tools to help researchers move from inquisitive imagination to indisputable image to invaluable information.
