The Institute features a state-of-the-art Virtual Reality suite within the IICD space, enabling 3D visualization of tumors for advanced research and analysis.
In partnership with the Department of Biological Sciences on the Morningside Heights campus, the Institute has supported the acquisition of several cutting-edge instruments, including a 10X Chromium system, a MiSeq DNA sequencer, and a tissue dissociator, significantly expanding genomic and cellular research capabilities.
Through collaboration with the New York Genome Center (NYGC), IICD has also contributed to the development of the Direct Library Preparation Plus+ (DLP+) device—a scalable single-cell whole-genome DNA sequencing system that enhances precision and throughput in genomic studies. Additional infrastructure enhancements include the installation of a cryostat and a confocal microscope to further support high-resolution imaging and tissue analysis.
IICD has also procured a serial two-photon tomography system, paired with an automated collector, for high-throughput imaging and annotation of tumor biopsies. This instrument is housed at the Zuckerman Institute.
All instruments are available for internal use. IICD members may refer to the IICD intranet for details on access and scheduling.
