Mission: To promote and support a sustainable long-term research at Howard University using modern imaging technology to study the mechanism of disease processes and their response to therapy at the molecular, subcellular, cellular, and whole animal levels.
Objectives:
To provide state-of-the-art instrumentation, technical expertise and essential services for molecular, cellular and in vivo imaging
To provide a broader training experience students and faculty in biomedical imaging through methodology- centered seminars, workshops, mini-courses, and internships
To foster new multidisciplinary research collaborations using modern imaging techniques
The Molecular Imaging Laboratory running several research projects and provides collaborative consolidation of instrumentation, technical expertise, and support personnel to enhance the impact and availability of NMR Structure and imaging resources to the biological and biomedical sciences community at Howard. Techniques of imaging, in vivo spectroscopy, ex vivo spectroscopy (of intact, isolated cells), and solid-state and solution state spectroscopy of purified molecules and macromolecules are encompassed.
