Center for Cellular and Molecular Imaging (CCMI)
Our mission is to provide electron microscopy services and techniques to investigators at Yale School of Medicine. We offer a wide range of services from conventional EM to cryosectioning and immunogold labeling.
Electron Microscopy & Cryo Electron Microscopy
Electron Microscopy Facility is a central core facility administrated and financially supported by the Dean’s office in Yale Medical School. We provide expertise, instrumentation and training of modern electron microscopy, and work closely with investigators on their science projects. The facility is located at Sterling Hall of Medicine (333 Cedar Street), suite IE-26, 38 and 40. Anyone who wishes to start an EM project or access to facility equipment should contact the facility director Xinran Liu at (203) 785-4050 or by email to xinran.liu@yale.edu.
Confocal Microscopy at CCMI
Confocal microscopy enables the visualization and imaging of fixed as well as living cells and tissues that contain fluorescent probes (fluorescent antibodies, fluorescent proteins, dyes, and substrates).
Macromolecular X-ray Crystallography
The X-ray crystallography core laboratory is part of the Yale School of Medicine and is available for use by individuals at the medical school trained in X-ray crystallography. The Director of the laboratory is Dr. Ya Ha, and the laboratory is overseen by the Associate Director, Dr. James W. Murphy.
