Start a Project

All new project intake goes through the UTSW iLab portal. Use iLab to request CCIC services, describe your project, and begin scheduling or consultation for sample preparation, imaging, and analysis support.

Start in UTSW iLab

For general questions, email CCIC at tccic@utsouthwestern.edu.

What to Include in iLab

Include enough project context for CCIC staff to route the request to the right sample preparation, imaging, and analysis workflow.

Sample type, tissue, species, fixation, clearing, expansion, or live-imaging requirements
Biological question, markers or stains, and any antibody validation needs
Preferred imaging service, such as cleared tissue light-sheet imaging, expansion microscopy, thick-section cyclic immunofluorescence, live spheroid imaging, or image analysis
Expected output, such as 3D image volumes, stitched data, segmentation, visualization, or quantitative feature extraction
Timeline, number of samples, BioHPC or data-transfer needs, and any external institution, IRB, or material-transfer considerations

Consultations and External Users

CCIC staff can help align sample preparation, microscope selection, acquisition strategy, data handling, and analysis deliverables before a project begins. Project-specific quote or rate guidance can be discussed after intake through iLab.

CCIC serves UT Southwestern investigators and cancer researchers at collaborating Texas institutions. External users should start through iLab and contact CCIC with questions about access, project fit, sample transfer, or institutional requirements.
