Molecular imaging is a new and rapidly emerging biomedical research discipline that involves the non-invasive detection of changes in the expression of genes, molecules and cells in vivo over time. It may be defined as the visual representation, characterization and quantification of biological processes at the cellular and molecular levels within intact living organisms.
Students enrolled in the graduate programs of the Departments of Medical Biophysics, Pathology, Biochemistry (SSMD) or Chemistry (Faculty of Science) are eligible to apply. As part of the Molecular Imaging program, students will take courses in medical and molecular imaging and attend monthly journal club meetings.
