In December 2023 COIL became the Light Microscopy Core of the Discovery Research Platform for Hidden Cell Biology

About the Light Microscopy Core

The Discovery Research Platform for Hidden Cell Biology (DRP-HCB) was launched in December 2023.

Funded by Wellcome, the DRP-HCB is a cross disciplinary team of researchers and technologists working to develop new techniques to overcome technical and knowledge barriers to scientific progress.

To overcome these barriers the DRP-HCB established four Technology Cores:

  1. Proteomics Core
  2. Structural Biology Core (formerly Cryo-EM and crystallisation facility)
  3. Light Microscopy Core (formerly COIL)
  4. Bioinformatics Core

To access the Light Microscopy Core (or any DRP-HCB Technology Core) researchers should first register a project with the DRP-HCB.
