The goals of this project are twofold: a) to develop a new technique for nanoscale Mass spectrometry imaging based on AFM based tip enhanced IR ablation (nanoIR-MS). b) To apply this technique towards the application of Single cell imaging. We will demonstrate the application of this platform technology on single mouse brain cells and to identify single cells of Circulatory Tumor cells.

The goal of this project is to develop an imaging instrument capable of identifying biological molecules on the scale of single cells. This device addresses the technology limitations of current imaging systems that lack either the ability to resolve singl cells or lack the ability to detect large biomolecules. This device is a critical tool for biomedicl research and will assist in the disease research, drug development, and in clinical diagnosis.
