Kevin Eliceiri

Eliceiri is an internationally known expert in advanced light microscopy and is a investigator and Director of the  Center for Quantitative Cell Imaging (CQCI) in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (OVCR)  at the University of Wisconsin Madison. He is a Professor of Medical Physic and Biomedical Engineering  and also an Principal Investigator in the Morgridge Institute for Research. With his close collaborator and co-PI Professor Abhishek Kumar our two labs operate under a shared collaborative umbrella research program known as the the Laboratory for Optical and Computational Instrumentation (LOCI). LOCI is part of CQCI with the mission of developing advanced optical and computational techniques for imaging and experimentally manipulating living specimens.

Eliceiri’s local and international collaborations have resulted in over 300 publications ranging from informatics and instrumentation to live cell microscopy and cancer imaging papers. Eliceiri has been funded by NSF, NIH, Department of Defense, Susan G. Komen, American Cancer Society and the Wellcome Trust.  Current projects include developing software to annotate and archive microscopy data, the development of the ImageJ2 software platform and Fiji distribution of ImageJ, and the development of software and hardware to interrogate the tumor microenvironment.

Eliceiri also directs a collaborative biomedical imaging fabrication group at the Morgridge Institute for Research (MIR). As a MIR PI, Kevin Eliceiri leads efforts in advanced biofabrication and instrumentation and multiscale imaging. In MIR Biomedical Imaging in collaboration with the LOCI group, current projects include transient lighting fluorescenece techniques, light sheet microscopy, multiscale metabolism and multiscale imaging of the extracellular matrix.
