En signifikant del av arbetet kommer att bestå i konstruktionen av ett programsystem som kan läsa in bilddata från olika källor, bl.a. konfokalmikroskop, och bearbeta och exportera resultatet till existerande grafiska tredimensionella presentationsprogram.

The aim of this project is to enable visualization cellular signaling on all levels of structural organization, including molecular dynamics and interactions of signaling molecules, signaling events on the cell surface and in the cytoplasm as well as signaling processes in intact tissues.We attempt to use state-of-the-art devices for collection of data from all these organizational levels.Furthermore,we are going to employ computerized analytical imaging applications that have not been used in the context of biological imaging before.This is necessitated by the complexity of detail of such images.To cope with them, and to maximally exploit their use, requires new techniques that extend beyond the scope of display modes and the software that is presently available.The research consortium represents expertise in molecular structures and modelling, cell signaling mechanisms,neuroanatomy and histochemistry, and applications of computer systems in biological imaging.
