Virtual Cell - About

National Resource for Cell Analysis and Modeling

About VCell

The Virtual Cell is currently funded as a national resource center, National Resource for Cell Analysis and Modeling (NRCAM),by the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

NRCAM resides at the Center for Cell Analysis and Modeling, CCAM, at the University of Connecticut Health Center, UCHC. CCAM provides a vast array of laboratory equipment that can be used for obtaining experimental data needed to create and enhance Virtual Cell models. Microscopy instrumentation includes three confocal laser scanning microscopes including UV excitation, nonlinear optical microscopy utilizing a titanium sapphire pulsed laser, confocal-based fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, wide-field imaging workstation with cooled CCD and rapid excitation filter wheel, and dual-wavelength spectrofluorometer. Access to the facilities and technical staff is open to all researchers.
