Center for Deep-Tissue
Molecular & Cellular Imaging and Control

DeepMIC is dedicated to facilitating research in deep tissue imaging and control across Caltech’s scientific community. Our mission is to support discoveries by providing access to shared infrastructure, reagents, training, and by driving the development of relavant technology and methodologies.

Non-invasive imaging and control of agent-specific objects in living systems, as well as anatomical imaging of organs, are essential capabilities in advanced biomedical research. For example, the development of targeted drug delivery systems requires in vivo tracking of therapeutic vehicles and precise triggering of their activity. DeepMIC was established to support such technically demanding research, and since its foundation, it has made several successful cases (check out our publications).
