Description:

The Atomic Force Microscopy Core at Penn State College of Medicine was created in 2023, in part, through an NIH S10 award (1S10OD030279-01A1). The core’s mission is to provide the College of Medicine research community with access to state-of-the-art atomic force microscopy equipment and expertise as a means to advance the strategic research goals of the institution.
