Description

Keck Center instrumentation includes laser-scanning confocal microscopes, widefield microscopes, and an STF-funded advanced IMARIS image analysis workstation that is FREE for all UW students.

The Keck Center operates as a UW recharge center, and is supported by the departments of Physiology and Biophysics (PBio), Pharmacology, Genome Sciences, and Laboratory Medicine & Pathology (DLMP).  It was established in 1990 as the W. M. Keck Center for Advanced Studies in Neural Signaling through a grant from the Keck Foundation so that researchers in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics (PBio) and the Department of Pharmacology could explore how nerve cells acquire, store and transmit information.
