Founded in 2022 by a joint initiative of the Kavli Neural Systems Institute and the Rockefeller University, the MBO is generously supported by a gift from the Elizabeth R. Miller Family. The MBO will refine, disseminate, and provide long-term support of cutting edge neuroimaging tools that will serve a wide range of biological applications. 

This is being done by consolidating and managing all relevant technical knowledge, maintaining custom pre-commercial instruments, and enabling access to optimized data pipelines and computational resources to collaboratively address challenging neurobiological projects. Current technologies include Optimized Light Beads Microscopy (LBM), hi-res LBM, and IsoView (Isotropic multiview light-sheet microscopy). Collectively, these technologies allow for interrogation of neuronal populations at unpresented scale, resolution, speed and depth in a wide array of specimens.
