The de Picciotto-Lesser Cancer Cell Observatory

Medical / Health Care / Pharmaceuticals

The de Picciotto-Lesser Cancel Cell Observatory is a unit of the Moross Integrated Cancer Center (MICC) within the Weizmann Institute of Science. It provides advanced imaging techniques for high definition analysis of cancer cells thanks to state-of-the art light microscopy techniques, allowing researchers to gain a better understanding of cancer cell heterogeneity. Its non-invasive techniques is fundamental to the analyses at the MICC’s Kleinman Cancer Cell Sorting Facility. The centre is supported by Michael de Picciotto, who founded it in honour of his maternal grandparents.
