CILS Core Facility Hosts BioBus
The Institute for Chemical Imaging of Living Systems has partnered with BioBus to bring science to underprivileged students and communities around the Metro Boston area. As a satellite location, the CILS Core will function as a space for local schools to provide students with a high-level view into imaging, biology, and other science disciplines.
Zeiss Microscopy has generously donated 8 microscopes to BioBus to utilize in the CILS Core Facility.
This partnership has been led by Vivek Venkatachalam, CILS member and Assistant Professor of Physics, and Mollie Thurman, Chief Community Scientist at BioBus.
