Dean's Workshop: "Yale Biomedical Imaging Institute: Advancing the Understanding of Health & Guiding Treatment"

Please join us for a dean's workshop introducing the Yale Biomedical Imaging Institute (Yale BioImaging), led by Director Georges El Fakhri, PhD. The workshop, titled "Yale Biomedical Imaging Institute: Advancing the Understanding of Health & Guiding Treatment," will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 21, from 1 - 6 p.m.

The mission of Yale BioImaging is to cultivate an interdisciplinary and dynamic research environment that will transform our understanding of health and disease through biomedical imaging.

The workshop highlights the work of scientists and clinicians across the university that are employing advanced biomedical imaging technologies and translating them in a variety of fields such as brain, heart, cancer, image-guided therapy, and data sciences. The workshop also features a roundtable discussion by leaders of imaging-intensive departments to identify strategic opportunities for innovation and impact.

This hybrid event, hosted by the School of Medicine dean’s office, will take place in person in The Anlyan Center auditorium, N107 (300 Cedar Street) and via Zoom.

Those interested in presenting a poster at the workshop may submit an abstract here by Oct. 3.
