Centre for Dynamic Imaging

Visualising biological mechanisms and behaviours is a gateway to understanding disease.

Scientists are now capturing spectacular images and real-time video from single cells and tissue slices, right through to whole organs. These new views of biology are bringing us closer to developing better disease diagnostics and treatments.

Showing 10 of 10
Watching cancer cells respond to chemotherapy
Single cell imaging techniques are allowing researchers, including Dr Kim Pham, to develop complex mathematical models to understand how cancer cells respond to chemotherapy.
Understanding how cancer cells spread
Researchers are using multiplexed, 3-dimensional imaging to combine information about cancer cell movement and blood vessel structure to better understand how tumour cells invade other tissues.
Understanding host-pathogen interaction in malaria parasite invasion of red blood cells
Advanced live-microscopy techniques have become the most effective avenue for studying the interactions between the malaria parasite and the host red blood cell prior to, during, and after infection.
Shining new light on gene expression
Advanced microscopy techniques are helping researchers like Iromi Wanigasuriya understand how genes are switched on and off, a process called epigenetic control of gene expression.
Revealing how MLKL kills
Access to the Centre’s suite of imaging technologies has enabled WEHI researcher Dr Andre Samson to discover how the killer protein MLKL exerts its deadly job.
New views of malaria parasites
Light microscopy is giving researchers new insights into the behaviour of a deadly malaria-causing parasite.
Imaging captures rogue molecule that can trigger autoimmunity
Dr Kate McArthur is using cutting edge imaging techniques to understand how DNA is released from mitochondria, a process that has been implicated in the development of autoimmune disease.
Illuminating immune cells in the breast
PhD student Caleb Dawson is using confocal microscopy to reveal the 3D structure of breast tissue.
Getting to the root of lung development
PhD student Casey Ah-Cann is using imaging techniques to study lung development and disease.
A quantitative look at cell death in the vasculature
Dr Leigh Coultas is using 3- and 4-dimensional confocal microscopy to investigate how blood vessels grow and develop.
