NYU Langone’s Tech4Health Institute is located at InnoLabs on 45-18 Court Square West in Long Island City. It occupies newly renovated facilities on the fourth floor containing labs, offices, open seating areas, and shared meeting rooms. Our labs include dedicated specialized lab rooms and open lab benches for conducting “wet” biomedical research, device development, and translational human R&D. Our labs are supported by a shared surgery suite, chemical and biosafety hoods and autoclave and refrigeration facilities.

A vivarium and other core scientific and educational facilities are available at InnoLabs, and they are shared among NYU Langone’s Neuroscience Institute, Institute for Systems Genetics, and NYU Tandon School of Engineering. The Tech4Health team and our collaborators have access to NYU Langone’s extensive scientific cores and shared resources.

Engineering Team and Makerspace

The Tech4Health Institute engineering team is an advanced rapid-response maker group. The team works closely with scientists and clinicians to provide electrical, mechanical, and software engineering design support; rapid prototyping; three-dimensional (3D) printing; and precision machining and lithography. We also perform innovative research and development in microsensors, microdevices, and microrobotics. Our dedicated makerspace is equipped with microfabrication facility, microscopy facility, electronic test equipment, 3D printers, circuit routers, inspection and assembly tools, and more.

The team’s staff also operate shared machine shop facilities in the Neuroscience Institute at NYU Langone Health’s main campus.

Bioimaging Center

Our bioimaging center offers expert access to top-of-the-line bioimaging technologies, specializing in applying custom in vivo optical imaging in the rodent brain. Our center includes two advanced multiphoton imaging microscopes with auxiliary capabilities, such as holography-based patterned excitation and single-cell electrophysiology. An additional custom optoacoustic system provides large-scale and rapid tomographic imaging using a spherical matrix array of ultrasound transducers.
