About This Grant
PROJECT SUMMARY We are requesting a 120kV transmission electron microscope (TEM) for the Electron Microscopy Core Facility (EMCF) at UT Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, TX. The EMCF is a campus wide, institutionally supported, fee for service facility that provides electron microscopy services for basic and clinical science investigators at UT Southwestern. In the fiscal year 2025 (which ended August 31, 2025) the EMCF served 132 users from 67 UTSW laboratories. Over the past twenty years, the EMCF has supported nearly 300 publications. The EMCF has two TEMs that together are used more than 3200 hours per year. The instrument we are requesting is intended to replace our nineteen-year-old Tecnai G2 Spirit Biotwin TEM that is near the end of its lifetime. The two cameras on the microscope are failing and are no longer supported by the vendor. The instrument itself has begun to experience significant down time due to the difficulty of finding compatible parts and is often only partially functional because of recurring issues. If this heavily used instrument fails, demand for the remaining microscope will significantly exceed the time available. Timely replacement of the Tecnai G2 will enable the health-related research of the 16 major users listed in this application as well as many other laboratories who use the EMCF in support of their NIH funded research. Among other projects, the requested microscope will be used to study the structure and function of insulin receptors, ion channels, the virulence of bacterial pathogens, lipogenesis, cardiac and skeletal muscle development, and the mechanism of amyloid aggregation. These studies will have an impact on our understanding and treatment of diseases such as diabetes, obesity, muscular dystrophy, cardio myopathy, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
