The BioCurrents Research Center (BRC) is an integrated technology resource of the NIH:NCRR. The activities of the Center focus on molecular physiology as it relates to the cell function and disease. Our particular interest is how the dynamics of cell responses are reflected in the chemical profiles of microdomains surrounding single living cells. In order to measure complex cellular boundary layers, the BRC has specialized in the development of extremely sensitive signal acquisition and processing methods along with miniaturized electrochemical sensor designs. The technique is non-invasive and termed self-referencing. Since its establishment in 1996, the BRC has directed its technological research and development to the design and application of ultra-microelectrodes (tip diameters of less than 10m) tailored for the detection of specific chemicals. These have been successfully applied to the boundary layer profiles of many different cell types, with thematic strength in diabetes research, reproductive health and development (see collaborative profiles). More recently, it is changing its focus to technical developments, enhancing the integrative approach to cell function. To understand a cell as a dynamic and integrated whole, BRC must be able to examine responses from different domains as near to real time and as synchronously as possible. To this end, it is developing imaging capabilities to work in parallel with electrochemistry and conventional electrophysiological techniques. Imaging includes a spinning disc confocal, as well as a low light/luminescent imager designed and built within the BRC. The technologies developed or under development are in high demand within the biomedical community. Over 40 investigators work with the Center each year in a collaborative or service capacity. Over 80 of our visitor pool is NIH funded, representing approximately 25 NIH divisions and institutes. As part of our training and dissemination program we host occasional workshops at major national and international meetings, train a significant number of new investigators each year and host graduate students undertaking portions of their thesis dissertation using our technologies. In dissemination we advise on, and install, electrochemical systems in off campus research endeavors, both academic and industrial.

The Colour & Vision Research laboratory and database are based at the Institute of Ophthalmology, which is part of University College London. The Institute and CVRL are both closely associated with Moorfields Eye Hospital. The Institute is next door to Moorfields Eye Hospital near Old Street tube station (see directions). At the Colour & Vision Research laboratory, we investigate normal and clinical human visual perception. Our research focuses on questions about colour perception, light and dark adaptation, night-time vision, and the temporal and spatial properties of vision. Our primary goal is to understand the nature of the mechanisms that underlie visual perception, and to understand how those mechanism malfunction in clinical cases. More details about our research can be found by looking at the publications of members of the laboratory. The CVRL database, first set up in 1995, provides an annotated library of downloadable standard data sets relevant to colour and vision research. The focus of this site is primarily scientific and technical, but some introductory background information is also provided. A consistent set of functions for modeling colour vision based on the Stockman & Sharpe cone fundamentals and on our more recent luminous efficiency measurements are summarized under the category CVRL functions. These functions are tabulated in 0.1, 1 and 5 nm steps and can be returned as csv, xml, or tabular data or as dynamic plots. The Stockman & Sharpe cone fundamentals are the basis of a CIE proposal for physiologically-relevant colour matching functions. These functions, which are indentical to the CVRL functions, are summarized under the category CIE 2007 functions. The CIE functions are also tabulated in 0.1, 1 and 5 nm steps, and can also be returned as csv, xml, or tabular data or as dynamic plots. Significant additions to the database are the individual colour matching measurements made by Stiles & Burch. These have been compiled and cross-checked with the help of Boris Oicherman, Alexander Logvinenko, and Abhijit Sarkar from hard copies of the original data provided by Pat Trezona and Mike Webster. They can be obtained as Excel files and are available for both 2 and 10 colour matches. Other data sets, which are provided as csv files, include cone fundamentals, colour matching functions, chromaticity coordinates, prereceptoral filter density spectra, photopigment spectra, and CIE standards. Many of these data sets can also be viewed as dynamic plots. Sponsors: CVRL is funded by BBSRC The Wellcome Trust, Fight for Sight, National Eye Institute, and NIH.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. The Duke Image Analysis Laboratory (DIAL) is committed to providing comprehensive imaging support in research studies and clinical trials to various agencies. The capabilities of the lab include protocol development, site training and certification, and image archival and analysis for a variety of modalities including magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, computed tomography and nuclear medicine. DIAL uses the latest technologies to analyze Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data sets of the brain. Currently the lab is engaged in measurement of the hippocampus, amygdala, caudate, ventricular system, and other brain regional volumes. Each of these techniques have undergone a rigorous validation process. The measurements of brain structures provide a useful means of non-invasively testing for changes in the brain of the patient. Changes over time in the brain can be detected, and evaluated with respect to the treatment that the patient is receiving. Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) allows DIAL to obtain an accurate profile of the chemical content of the brain. This sensitive technique can detect small changes in the metabolic state of the brain; changes that vary in response to administration of therapeutic agents. The ability to detect these subtle shifts in brain chemistry allows DIAL to identify changes in the brain with more sensitivity than allowed by image analysis. In this respect, NMR spectroscopy can provide early detection of changes in the brain, and serves to compliment the data obtained from image analysis. Additionally, DIAL also contains SQUID (Scalable Query Utility and Image Database). It is an image management system developed to facilitate image management in research and clinical trials: SQUID offers secure, redundant image storage and organizational functions for sorting and searching digital images for a variety of modalities including MRI, MRS, CAT Scan, X-Ray and Nuclear Medicine. SQUID can access images directly from DUMC scanners. Data can also be loaded via DICOM CDs, THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.
