???????? ???????? ?????????????????? ?????? ??????????????, ?????????? ????— join us for 'Optics & Donuts, an event featuring CART's Center for Advanced Light Microscopy & Nanoscopy (CALMN). Enjoy coffee and donuts while hearing from URMC researchers Eric Small, PhD, Patricia M. White, PhD, and Elizabeth Abshire, PhD, as they discuss how advanced light microscopy techniques are enhancing their research. V. Kaye Thomas, PhD, Director of CALMN, will also highlight cutting-edge microscopy resources available to investigators. Event details below! ?? #CART #URochesterResearch #lightmicroscopy

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????. Recently, this collaborative spirit was showcased in a study led by?Dr. Ania Majewska, where three CART facilities—the Center for Advanced Light Microscopy and Nanoscopy (CALMN), the Flow Cytometry Resource (FCR), and the Genomics Research Center (GRC)—joined forces to contribute data and expertise. The research revealed a?differential response to pexidartinib on microglia in adult male and female mouse brains. This achievement exemplifies how partnerships with CART can help push the boundaries of your research. Study:?https://bit.ly/41BfnVx #CART?#URochesterResearch?#corefacilities?#collaboration
