Welcome to the CBI contacts/resource site, on this page you will find direct contact information for all the faculty and staff within the CBI. It is important to recognize the CBI does not work as a traditional core, but prides itself on being a leading center in the application of cellular imaging from the single molecule to the whole animal. Because of this we expect that if you are a new user of the center you will contact the center director (Simon Watkins) directly at swatkins@pitt.edu. He can establish interactions with you and if relevant your advisor/mentor/principal investigator. Subsequently, you will be directed to a specific contact person who will be your primary contact for the project. If you are an established user interested in starting a new project or expanding an existing project, discuss it with your primary contact. In each case, you should feel free to contact the director at any time, if you have problems using the services and resources offered by the center. Review of CBI usage/policies.
