Biological and Medical Imaging

Non-invasive imaging techniques are becoming ubiquitous as a core technology for understanding molecular interactions, cellular organization, normal physiology and abnormalities associated with specific diseases. UCSF has a long tradition of innovation in instrumentation development and its applications to biology and medicine. The cutting edge resources that will be in the QB3 institute will provide the opportunity for expanding these capabilities with an emphasis on developing new probes for molecular and cellular imaging. Specific areas of interest are:

• New light and electron microscope imaging technologies for visualizing cell and molecular structure and for analysis of the properties of single molecules.
• Designing new probes for use in molecular imaging and for understanding cellular function by the visualization of in vivo dynamic processes.
• Non-invasive imaging techniques for assessing tissue, organ ultrastructure, morphology and function using high field MR, EEG, MEG, CT, PET and SPECT.
• Developing imaging analysis, visualization and multi-faceted quantification methods for understanding normal and abnormal cellular, tissue and whole organism physiology.
