The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) is a part of the NIH, with a mission to catalyze the generation of innovative methods and technologies that will enhance the development, testing, and implementation of diagnostics and therapeutics across a wide range of human diseases and conditions. NCATS needs expanded capacity and additional analysis function for existing Imaris software packages. These software packages are used for scientific analysis of fluorescence microscopy three-dimensional image stack data. The Imaris software is required for meeting project milestones of the Stem Cell Translation Laboratory (SCTL) and the 3D Tissue Bioprinting Laboratory (3DTBL). Expanding projects from these two groups are requiring more analysis time from more biologists. Imaris software is an essential tool for us to analyze images acquired across a broad selection of microscope platforms and to extract quantitative information from these image data. The Imaris Image Stitcher Software Function Add-On Package is needed to analyze very large sample area image data sets. It is imperative that we expand this software capability and apply the Imaris image stitcher functionality to facilitate our cutting-edge research in stem cell technology and 3D biological model systems.
