Oxford-ZEISS Centre of Excellence officially opened

ZEISS is partnering with the University of Oxford bringing ground-breaking microscopy imaging equipment, and analysis tools, to advance the study of global health and disease. On February 21, 2024, the Oxford-ZEISS Centre of Excellence in Biomedical Imaging (Oxford-ZEISS Coe) officially opened its doors to the research community at the University of Oxford. The new centre is a collaboration between the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology (KIR) and the Institute of Developmental & Regenerative Medicine (IDRM) , in partnership with ZEISS. It promises to deliver the latest imaging technologies and analysis approaches to advance the study of global health and disease. The Oxford-ZEISS Coe provides life scientists with access to the latest commercially available microscopy and imaging technologies from ZEISS, as well as the unique expertise of ZEISS engineers in their research and development team. Providing advanced microscopy resolution and fast imaging, the Oxford-ZEISS Coe enables researchers to observe single cells fulfill their functions and behaviour at the single-cell level, within tissues, across whole organisms, and within living samples. It supports the research at the KIR and IDRM that aims to treat some of the world's most prolific diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, neuro-degenerative diseases, or conditions related to inflammation or tissue repair.
