On-demand workflow design for image processing and analysis

Inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases are complex, multifactorial conditions that affect multiple organs and cellular components. To tackle these intricate biological challenges, we employ and advance multi-modal and multi-scale imaging and flow cytometry pipelines. These pipelines include the entire process from sample preparation, image acquisition to image analysis and quantification. Our workflows are adpated to various tissues, including the heart, kidneys, blood vessels, muscles, liver and adipose tissue. They operate across scales ranging from whole organs to subcellular levels, employing techniques such as widefield imaging, confocal spectral imaging, high-resolution imaging (Airyscan), high-content imaging (Axioscan 7, Opera Phenix), and cytometry-based analysis (spectral, sorting, and analysis).

STED correlative imaging with molecular dynamic and interaction (FCS-FLIM-FRAP-FRET) on thin, thick samples

Light-sheet imaging of fixed and live samples. We can afford (cells, IPS, organoïds, hydra, fish, human tissues) because the microscope is installed in Biology Safety Level 2

Low signal fast live imaging at nano-scale level (Airy / Fast Airyscan , Live-3D-STED, Live-3D-SLMN)

Cell-biology expertise: providing cells(epithelial, glial, neuronal) and organoïds, labelling (transfections or probe-Test), and imaging for physicist, chemist that would like to test a prototype. Including : Guidance on super-resolution modalities (collaboration) : from system choice (SIM-STED-STORM) to images processing and data analysis (tools development).

Hight-throughput and high content screening : from sample preparation, automation in sample preparation, data acquisition (plate reader or microscopy), image analysis and statistics analysis (list of hits)
(Key-words: chemical libraries, siRNA libraries, sgRNA CRISPR-Cas9 arrayed libraries covering entire genomes (human and mouse), automatic platform for sample preparation, HCS microscopes with low and high resolution, flow cytometer with images)

With the help of the IBDM Lignt Microscopy Facility we can offer an comprehensive CLEM Pipeline from live fluorescence imaging to EM imaging (in 2D and 3D)
