New equipment allows scientists to test life-saving drugs in real time
A new $1.5 million multiphoton microscopy platform is helping Baker Institute scientists with groundbreaking projects to advance precision medicine, develop smarter clot busting drugs, and prevent damage after a heart attack.
The state-of-the-art equipment allows researchers to look at living mouse models to track disease processes and novel treatments in real time.
Microscopy facility manager Dr Adam Parslow said the new platform was a huge success story to come out of the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
