School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences

Imaging Chemistry & Biology

Developing novel chemical approaches with simpler methods, higher quality and wider availability for patients.

Imaging Chemistry & Biology studies the development and assessment of molecular imaging agents to help us improve detection and understanding of disease. Our research groups work together in highly integrated ways with an emphasis on strong team ethos. In this way, we make exceptionally efficient use of our laboratory space and diverse academic expertise.

Research Specialisms

We interact closely with other departments in the School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences to optimise imaging capability and translate new science into clinical application. Our specialisms are:

Cancer
Cardiovascular
Immunology
Neuroscience
Musculoskeletal
New Chemistry

We believe our multidisciplinary approach – working across departments in the schools, with industry leaders, and collaboratively with other academic experts in the country – will lead to advancements in imaging science that will help save lives. Putting patients first is the core of our School’s mission.
