Description:

Leica Microsystems and Fred Hutch collaborated to establish the first Leica Center of Excellence, or CoE, in the Pacific Northwest. The Leica CoE establishes a mutually beneficial, collaborative relationship through a combined effort to provide researchers with advanced microscopy technologies, while supporting the Hutch’s commitment to generating scientific discoveries and developing new approaches to preventing and treating cancer and related diseases.
