About the STP

The preclinical arm of the Biomedical/In vivo Imaging Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê STP is supported by Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê’s Centre for Advanced Biomedical Imaging (CABI). CABI currently hosts seven PIs, runs hundreds of national and international collaborative projects and successfully manages 13 state-of-the-art small animal imaging modalities (MRI, PET, SPECT, CT, Ultrasound, Optical and optoacoustic). The imaging laboratories incorporate on-site long-term animal housing alongside an in vivo surgical suite, giving open access to both transgenic and surgical models across Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê and the wider academic and industrial community.​

The Clinical Imaging arm of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Biomedical/In vivo Imaging Science Technology Platform has supported cutting-edge facilities in the Department of Neuroinflammation, Birkbeck-Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Centre for ​Neuroimaging and the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging. These centres have pursued translational world-class research in humans to improve our understanding of a diversity of fields such as language, spatial cognition, emotion, vision and decision-making and also neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, psychiatric disorders, Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
