We
are the Cancer Center Core Facility (UCCC) for animal imaging and
metabolomic NMR. We are providing services on all aspects of animal
imaging (including MRI, PET and CT) for the entire University of
Colorado (including Denver, Boulder and Colo Springs) as well as CSU and
the School of Mines. There are only 12 Universities nationwide which
can provide similar services, as we do, in a full extent. Recently, we
have over 30 investigators using our MRI/ PET/ CT/ NMR core - including
UCSF, Johns Hopkins, University of Michigan and UCLA scientists.
Our research interests are in developing physiologically-based
imaging end-points for cancer detection and response to novel
anti-cancer therapies. We are also interested in developing novel
molecular probes and protocols for non-invasive imaging of inflammation
proteins, oncoproteins and endogenous metabolites (so-called "molecular
imaging").
