The new NIST x-ray calibration facility has been designed to improve the measurement conditions for x-ray scatter, motion control, environmental conditions
All living things measure their environment, make decisions, and respond. Systematic re-engineering of these living measurement and control systems has the
Synthetic cell membrane constructs allow the simplification and complete control of a more complicated cellular system, as well as the incorporation of selected
A program for the development of dosimetry standards for radiobiology was launched through a highly successful workshop. The NIAID/NCI/NIST-sponsored workshop
The Cellular Engineering Group works to provide metrology for rapid, successful translation of safe, effective bioproducts based on cell-free expression systems
The natural world is a magnificent place with observable, via measurement and inference, physical structures spanning at least 43 orders of magnitude in space
Biophotonics is at the intersection of photonics and biology where light is used to image, detect, and manipulate biological materials. This project addresses
The Cell-Free Workshop sought to identify and prioritize actionable steps towards more reproducible and comparable cell-free systems for practical applications
The Optical Medical Imaging project was established to advance the application of optical imaging in surgical, clinical, and medical practices. Our goal is to
