In Vivo Molecular Imaging Core Facility
Introduction
The In Vivo Molecular Imaging Core Facility (MICF) can provide a comprehensive service for non-invasive anatomical and physiological imaging of mice and rats. The core can generate spatial information as well as temporal information (longitudinal studies) for studies related to cancer biology, drug discovery, drug development, and assessment of therapeutic intervention.
We will assist investigators with defining which one or more of the imaging modalities are appropriate for their projects. We will work with the investigators to develop a time table for experiments, determine suitable numbers of animals to demonstrate feasibility and significance and assist the entire research team with our imaging expertise.
