Description:

The Bioimaging and Applied Research Core, directed by Frank Corwin, Ph.D. and managed by Mackenzie Newman, Ph.D., offers comprehensive instrumentation and technical support for all aspects of in vitro and in vivo pre-clinical non-human anatomical and molecular imaging. Studies may be conducted on samples prepared to exhibit characteristic features for a particular imaging modality. Within the intact environment, physiological and pathophysiological activity may be observed through imaging or numerous biological pathways and interactions involved in injury and disease progression, such as traumatic brain injury, cardiac disease, tumorigenesis, and therapeutic interventions.
