Abstract
Imaging technology has long lagged the throughput of other components of systems biology, but recent improvements are putting it back on the radar screen as a systems-scale tool to view cells or whole organisms in multiple dimensions and in populations. Scientists are beginning to ask genome- or proteome-scale questions. The promise of combining imaging with other high throughput technologies will bring the research of systems biology into a new and exciting level with the potential of translating scientific discovery into clinical space. In this talk, I will describe different systems biologic applications currently being conducted in our group using automated florescence microscopy, as well as more focused study via pre-clinical animal imaging and clinical imaging techniques.
