Case Western Reserve University is a world leader in developing novel biomedical imaging technologies for translational and basic science applications. Research programs in imaging serve as the cornerstones for numerous interdisciplinary programs, including cancer diagnosis and prognosis, gene therapy, nanotechnology and drug delivery, cardiac physiology and understanding of metabolic diseases. <br><br>Our imaging program collaborates extensively with biomedical research programs in the Case School of Medicine, University Hospitals and Cleveland Clinic, resulting in rapid translation of imaging technologies developed here to the patient bedside and scientists bench-side. Our major research thrusts include developing and optimizing novel imaging technologies, creating new capabilities for existing imaging systems and applying novel imaging technologies to clinical and preclinical investigations.
