LBNL Integrated Bioimaging Initiative Workshop Thursday, February 2, 2012 8:30 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. (incl. reception) 717 Potter Street, room 141 Berkeley, CA 97710 Goals The goals of this workshop were to: - Bring together people with expertise in current equipment/technologies at the Lab/UCB that span the imaging spectrum. - Identify current equipment/technologies inventory and needs. - Identify opportunities and challenges in integrated bioimaging. - Use the outcome to develop a "white paper" to obtain large-scale funding.

B) How can we measure the effects of environmental impacts (radiation, stresses, chemicals, epigenomic factors) on genome, cellular, and organismal functions? C) How can we comprehensively extract tissue-level, cellular and sub-cellular information both from primary patient material and in-vivo for diagnostics and evaluation of therapeutic effectiveness? D) What capabilities can we bring together to comprehensively image the structure, dynamics, and function of a living cell at a molecular resolution? E) How can we simultaneous and dynamically image/measure the chemical and physical environmental and microbial metabolism at the 'microbial scale' in order to understand physical-chemical-metabolic feed-backs?
