Olympus has announced the opening of the Olympus Discovery Center at Texas A&M Health to support research focused on treating, alleviating and preventing human diseases.
The new facility provides researchers with hands-on access to Olympus microscopy systems that meet a range of advanced imaging needs important to their work.
As the largest university in Texas and the second largest in the USA, Texas A&M University provides a large, vibrant research environment that supports a range of biomedical research relevant to human health. At the new Olympus Discovery Center, researchers can utilise Olympus’ FLUOVIEW FV3000RS inverted confocal microscope for high-speed live-cell imaging, FVMPE-RS gantry multiphoton microscope for high-resolution deep tissue imaging, and VS120 virtual slide scanner for optimised, automatic whole-slide scanning.
These leading-edge microscopy systems support a broad range of applications in basic sciences and human disease research at Texas A&M Health. Research areas include neurodevelopmental disorders, behaviour and adaptation to injury and disease; the role of innate and adaptive immunity in cancer, molecular and cellular mechanisms of cancer initiation and pathogenesis; cardiac, vascular and lymphatic system pathophysiology in ageing and disease; and inflammatory responses and disease pathologies related to inflammation and immune dysfunction.
