We are saddened to report that Daniel Ryan Kloos, a former employee of CCDB, was killed in the Haiti earthquake. He was helping his sister, who was doing charitable work in Haiti, in the hospital that collapsed. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family and loved ones. He will be greatly missed. For more information about this tragic event, please take a look at this video news report.

2D, 3D & 4D Data

The Cell Centered Database (CCDB)is a web accessible database for high resolution 2D, 3D and 4D data from light and electron microscopy, including correlated imaging. Techniques range from wide field mosaics taken with multiphoton microscopy to 3D reconstructions of cellular ultrastructure using electron tomography...(more)



Data Spotlight

Detailed geometry of membrane systems CCDB releases very large electron tomographic reconstruction of an astrocyte cell body in hippocampal area CA1 stratum radiatum.
The reconstruction was derived from 26 serial electron tomographic volumes imaged with a unique 8K X 8K camera developed at the National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research. (more)

 

Tools

The CCDB is designed to allow users to explore and re-use imaging data and associated products, e.g., reconstructions, segmentations. Because of the diversity of data types within the CCDB, we do not enforce a single imaging format but try as far as possible to maintain the data in the original format. (more)



OpenCCDB

With support from an National Institutes of Health community software grant, we have developed an open source version of CCDB for community use and development. OpenCCDB extends the capabilities of the Cell Centered Database by providing a set of robust core services and the facilities needed for CCDB data and software to be shared, modified, edited and documented by multiple users.

Knowledge Engineering

The CCDB is participating in several large scale information projects to develop and utilize ontologies and spatial reference systems for data mining and data federation. The CCDB is utilizing ontologies to link data across scales and modalities. Additional details may be found by visiting the NIF and Senselab... (more)


Sao

SAO We have
developed the Subcellular Anatomy Ontology (SAO) for the nervous system to provide a formal ontology to describe structures from the dimensional range known as the "mesoscale," encompassing cellular and subcellular structure, supracellular domains, and macromolecules. (more)
