Michael J. Kruhlak, Ph.D.

Dr. Kruhlak directs the activities of the CCR Confocal Microscopy Core that supports the light microscopy imaging needs of NCI researchers. This includes developing novel imaging-based assays based on high-resolution confocal, multi-photon, and super-resolution imaging methods.
1) confocal microscopy, 2) multi-photon imaging, 3) Airyscan super-resolution, 4) structured illumination microscopy, 5) live cell imaging, 6) lightsheet microscopy
