Over €1 million awarded to RCSI from SFI for single cell imaging

RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences has received a nearly €1.2 million SFI infrastructure award to develop a high-resolution imaging system, with an automatic microdissection and single-cell sequencing facility.

The research infrastructure will provide new information on the molecular makeup of individual cells in complex tissues and structures, enable research towards personalised medicine and help in the development of novel diagnostics, therapeutics and biomaterials.
