Welcome to the CNSI Virtual Open House: 

Please browse this resource to learn more about the CNSI Technology Centers

The CNSI’s six technology centers provide UCLA’s scientific community with high-throughput molecular screening to discover novel drug candidates, cryo-electron imaging to reveal atomic structures ranging from new materials to therapeutic targets, super-resolution light microscopy for examining the behavior of single molecules within cells, and nanofabrication facilities for observing and manipulating matter at the nanoscale.

The CNSI’s technology centers do not just provide these leading technologies, they invent them, giving UCLA researchers and entrepreneurs a unique competitive edge. The centers are open to UCLA researchers, investigators from other campuses and those working in industry. For project consultation, proof of concept, training or other assistance, e-mail techcenters@cnsi.ucla.edu.

CNSI scientists have pioneered multiple advanced imaging techniques, such as alternating-laser excitation and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy, which have become invaluable tools for live imaging of cells and tissues.
