The Harvard Center for Biological Imaging was opened May 17, 2010 and is one of the most innovative biological imaging centers in the world. In order to ensure investigators always have access to the latest and best technologies, the HCBI was designed to be an “Evergreen” microscopy facility. Imaging systems at the HCBI are leased rather than purchased and replaced every 2-3 years. This ensures that the facility remains relevant and is never in possession of outdated equipment. Currently, the HCBI contains 20 microscopes and 12 high-end processing stations including confocal, super-resolution, multi-photon, lightsheet, live cell imaging, high-content screening, slide scanning, spatial transcriptomics, laser dissection and macroscopy. The facility also features wet lab space, eukaryotic and prokaryotic incubation, and access to nearby animal care facilities for a wide range of species.

We analyse all types of next-generation sequencing data from RNA-seq and single cell RNA-seq to variant sequencing (exome or whole genome), to ChIP-seq or bisulfite sequencing. We offer a dedicated bioinformatics training program for Harvard researchers interested in learning basic data skills and the analysis of high-throughput sequencing data. Our workshops focus on utilizing best practices in the field and research reproducibility.

Our goal is to advance research efforts in the life sciences that cannot readily be accomplished in the traditional academic laboratory because of a need for expensive instrumentation or automation, scientific or organizational infrastructure, or multidisciplinary expertise.

To promote cutting-edge research and to foster scientific collaborations, we make our extensive resources available to scientists at Harvard. Our technical staff provide expertise and hands-on training and the use of instrumentation for a nominal fee. Researchers can sign up to use the instrumentation through an on-line scheduling system and conduct their experiments independently.
