The W.M. Keck Biological Imaging Facility is located on the forth floor of the Whitehead Institute at Nine Cambridge Center, Cambridge Massachusetts. The facility is directed by Whitehead member Paul Matsudaira and managed by microscopist Nicki Watson. The facility provides scientists with the equipment and training necessary to generate and interpret microscopic images. In addition to serving the Whitehead and MIT community, the facility is open to the local research community.
