In September 2012, OMERO was installed at the Program in Molecular Medicine (PMM) of the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) by the OMEGA team and with the expert help and support provided by Karl Belve and the entire Biomedical Imaging Group team. This installation of OMERO serves to support the quantitative, real-time, sub-cellular tracking of HIV-1 viral particles project being conducted in Caterina’s lab. The same server is also being used by a growing community of local users including: the labs of Jeremy Luban, Melissa Moore, Vivian Budnik and Manuel Garber.

OMERO up and running in Bellinzona and at the Emory Vaccine Center

In close collaboration with the OMEGA project, the OMERO platform has been operational at two academic institutions:

Bellinzona: understanding the the eco-physiology of sulfur bacteria inhabiting the chemocline of Lake Cadagno

Starting from July 2010, OMERO is being actively employed at the Istituto Cantonale di Microbiologia (ICM) in Bellinzona Switzerland, to manage image data and metadata produced as part of a project aimed at dissecting the three-dimensional organization and eco-physiology of bacterial aggregates from Lake Cadagno, a meromictic lake found in the Swiss Alps. This project is carried out by Nicholas Vecchietti, Mauro Tonolla and Caterina Strambio De Castillia in close collaboration with the Centro di Biologia Alpina in Piora, Switzterland.

Emory Vaccine Center: utilize real time viral particle tracking technology to understand retroviral assembly

OMERO has been installed and is being tested for use by the Hunter laboratory at the Emory Vaccine Center in connection with a project aimed at dissecting the molecular aspects of retroviral assembly and release from infected primate cells. In addition, this installation of OMERO is being used as the main image data repository for the OMEGA development project.
