Division of Bioimaging Sciences

The discipline of bioimaging is taking on new dimensions as scientists develop new sensors to explore biological structure and function, and visualize/analyze this information in three and four dimensions. Bioimaging research is integrative in nature, both in terms of the type of sensor (e.g., gamma-ray, x-ray, visible light, NMR for everything from microscopy to optical coherence tomography, PET, MRI, ultrasound, etc.), scale (molecular to cellular to organ), and range of applications, from molecular crystallography to imaging the neuronal correlates of the mind.

The Division of Bioimaging Sciences focuses on research and teaching in bioimaging methodology. Faculty based in the Division specialize in areas such as mathematical image analysis, imaging physics, and the biophysics / biochemistry of the interaction of living tissue with imaging sensors.
