OMAC focuses its research and development activities to quantitatively understand the molecular basis of three-dimensional (3D) cell organization, motility, invasion, and differentiation using fixed samples and live, 3D tissue culture models (i.e., translational models). OMAC is a CCR-dedicated facility. Prospective users and collaborators should first consult the following website before contacting OMAC staff: OMAC Website. OMAC is operated by Leidos Biomedical Research Inc. on behalf of NCI as part of the Frederick National Laboratory.
Open to NCI-CCR community only. OMAC provides a broad range of training and support to CCR investigators which include experiment design, image acquisition, and quantitative analysis. We provide basic support and training with the aim of individuals becoming independent users.
