Microscale Life Sciences Center

Description

The Microscale Life Sciences Center (MLSC) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Center of Excellence in Genomic Science (CEGS). The MLSC is one of the first of three CEGS ever funded by the NIH NHGRI in the nation. In September 2006, the MLSC was awarded a second five-year $18 million federal grant from the National Human Genome Research Institute of the National Institutes of Health. The MLSC comprises the combined research expertise of leading researchers in their respective fields from Arizona State University, University of Washington, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and Brandeis University. Increasingly, it is becoming apparent that understanding, predicting, and diagnosing disease states is confounded by the inherent heterogeneity of in situ cell populations. The Microscale Life Sciences Center (MLSC) is focused on solving this problem, by developing microscale technology for genomic-level and multi-parameter single cell analysis, and applying that technology to fundamental problems of biology and health.
