Figure 1. Dr. Lewis Lipkin headed the project. His group started working on computer-controlled optical microscopy in the Perinatal Research Branch (PRB) of NINDB. The group later changed its name and institutes to the Image Processing Unit (IPU) in NCI in the Laboratory of Pathology. IPU later became the Image Processing Section (IPS) in NCI. The Section later became part of the Laboratory of Mathematical Biology (LMMB) in NCI under Dr. Charles DeLisi, Ph.D., and still later under Dr. Jacob Maizel, Ph.D.. The laboratory changed its name to the Laboratory of Experimental and Computational Biology (LECB) under Jake Maizel. The laboratory is currently refocused on nanobiology and is now called the Center for Computer Research Nanobiology Program (CCRNP) directed by Dr. Robert Blumenthal, Ph.D.(CCRNP has an additional research Web site).
