Frontiers of Imaging

Biological systems are extremely complex and have emergent properties that cannot be explained or even predicted by studying their individual parts alone. We must integrate across biological levels of investigation to gain a deeper mechanistic understanding of biological systems and build better theories and models of the factors that influence health and disease states, as well as design more effective therapies. We are driving the discovery of new imaging technologies through multiple grant programs that span the full range of molecular to organismal imaging, focusing on integrating between scales giving us unprecedented views of biological systems.
