Our Mission

The NCI Optical Microscopy Cores are instrumental in advancing cancer research through optical measurements and analysis. Serving the Center for Cancer Research community, which is home to approximately 250 Principal and Senior Investigators across 50 branches and laboratories.

With their unique expertise, each lab is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of our knowledge in cancer and AIDS. In collaboration with more than 20 Institutes and Centers of the National Institutes of Health, extramural scientists in academia & industry, they are actively involved in the discovery and development of new therapies against these diseases.
