Studying digestive diseases often means looking closely at tissue: how gut cells are arranged, which proteins they make, and what their internal structures look like. This grant supports the Tissue Analysis and Molecular Imaging (TAMI) Core, a shared facility rather than a single hypothesis-driven project.

What they work on
- Provide reliable tissue processing and histopathology services, including embedding, microtomy, staining and histochemistry, to characterize disease features in human and animal gastrointestinal tissues.
- Offer advanced imaging, including confocal, super-resolution, live-cell and high-throughput imaging, plus electron microscopy, to detect gastrointestinal phenotypes down to organelle structure.
- Train and consult digestive disease researchers on experimental design, image analysis and data interpretation through staff support, forums and symposia.
More about the research
It serves the Texas Medical Center Digestive Diseases Center (DDC), whose members span Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Texas Health Science Center and MD Anderson Cancer Center. Jason Mills directs the Core.
Why it matters
This shared facility gives digestive disease researchers access to tissue analysis and high-resolution microscopy they could not easily run alone. That support could speed studies of gastrointestinal health and disease, help connect basic and clinical research, and help new investigators enter the field. The Core has supported at least 140 publications.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
