An interdisciplinary facility specialized in preclinical imaging, biodistribution, and research support. We bring together expertise across UBC, TRIUMF, BC Cancer, and Simon Fraser University to support molecular imaging research.
Day-to-day operations are run by the facility manager. Two academic co-directors provide the scientific direction in quantitative imaging and in radiochemistry and drug delivery.
Leads the full preclinical imaging pipeline, from study design and imaging operations to analysis, visualization, and research support. Coordinates personnel, collaborators, and every project from conception to completion.
Provides leadership in quantitative imaging methodology, image quantification, and dosimetry: the measurement science underpinning the facility's imaging capabilities.
Provides leadership in radiochemistry, nanomedicine, and drug-delivery development, supporting the design and evaluation of imaging agents and therapeutic platforms.
The core facility team. Study design, image analysis and quantification are led by Cristina; the technical team runs imaging, animal handling and sample work day to day.
