Faculty staff, postgraduate students and members of affiliated institutions are extensively supported in their pursuit of excellence in research. Assistance with all technical aspects of the projects, appropriate training and advice on correct methodologies for specimen preparation are provided by the EM unit staff. Many new collaborative linkages of expertise in the biomedical sciences are being forged in the unit due to its centralized location and unique expertise.

Current research projects in the unit include protein visualization of amyloid and ßA4 in Alzheimer's disease, the degree of demyelination of nerve fibers in Multiple Sclerosis and structural changes in tumor cells.
