Abstract

The objective of this project is to acquire equipment and accessories to be incorporated into the INFABiC, National Institute of Science and Technology in Photonics Applied to Cell Biology, which will be the first multimodal microscopy laboratory in Latin America, integrating modern techniques of microscopy based on linear and nonlinear optics. The structure suggested is particularly appropriate for the study of cellular phenomena, the biochemical, physiological, and biomechanical aspects of which can be monitored in a nondestructive manner and in real time. Therefore, it is important to combine the various techniques in simultaneous analyses, collecting all of the data relevant to the phenomenon under investigation. The INFABiC will make available tools that are fundamental for the understanding of the cellular processes based on a broad set of photonic methodologies. That will allow the development of cutting-edge basic research projects, in various areas, with the potential to have an immediate socioeconomic impact. The entire community involved in research at the tissue, cellular, or subcellular level will benefit from the creation of this laboratory. It will be a facility, with a considerable number of large-scale equipment, which require, for their efficient use, intensive knowledge in the areas of optics, photonics, and cell biology. Therefore, the only efficacious way in which to use the laboratory will be to share the knowledge in these areas, as well as the associated infrastructure, clearly making it a multi-user laboratory. Appropriate management of the laboratory will ensure its use by the greatest possible number of researchers. One of the results of the creation of the institute will be the natural formation of a network of multidisciplinary research, with the dissemination of the methodologies and their application in various biological models.
