To decipher Inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases, multiplex imaging and cytometry pipelines include the entire process from sample preparation, image acquisition to image analysis and quantification. Our workflows are adpated to mouse or human lymphoid organs and blood . They employ techniques such as confocal spectral imaging and cytometry-based analysis (spectral, sorting, and analysis).
Technology: High throughput & High content imaging
These approaches combine automated microscopy with advanced image analysis to quickly acquire and analyze large numbers of samples. They are widely used in drug discovery, screening, and systems biology.
To tackle complex biological questions in aging and geroscience, we design and implement advanced multimodal, multiparametric, and multiscale pipelines in imaging, flow cytometry, and image flow cytometry. Our workflows span the entire process—from sample preparation to data acquisition and multidimensional analysis. We investigate biological systems across multiple scales, from subcellular structures such as mitochondria to organoids, whole organs, and even entire organisms. Our pipelines are tailored to a wide range of tissues, including adipose tissue, muscle, bone marrow, skin, blood, and periodontal tissue. In addition, our platforms provide access to complementary techniques such as second- and third-harmonic generation (SHG, THG), spectral confocal imaging, high-content imaging, image-based cytometry, conventional and spectral flow cytometry, and mechanobiological analysis. These integrative approaches are designed to support comparative and translational research across multiple species, including fish (with an emphasis on the African turquoise killifish as a model of aging), drosophila, mice, and humans.
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, Opera Phenix), high-content imaging (Axioscan 7), and cytometry-based analysis (spectral, sorting, and analysis).
