Research goal

The Advanced Light Microscopy Facility of the Biofisika Institute (CSIC, UPV/EHU) offers a collection of state-of-the-art light microscopy equipment and image analysis resources. We perform quantitative imaging of cellular events, such as molecular interactions, and biophysical studies, such as lipid-mediated protein interactions or lipid-order imaging of model membranes and cells.
