Director -- Richard Cole

Richard W. Cole:
received the B.S. degree in biology from SUNY College at Syracuse in 1983 and a Masters from SUNY New Paltz in 1985. He joined the Wadsworth Center for Laboratories and Research, New York State Department of Health, Albany, NY in 1985 as an electron microscopist working with the high voltage electron microscope. He later developed and managed the Wadsworth Center advanced light microscopy core. In that position, he designed and built a combined laser microsurgery optical trapping workstation that allowed investigators to ablate part or entire organelles within a living cell. He is currently working on development of a optical projection tomography system to allow high resolution mutli-mode images to be collected from larger objects such as embryos and larvae.
