The new HDX-MS instrument will support a large community of over 30 NIH-funded biomedical researchers at CWRU and neighboring institutions, including the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director (CFDA 93.351 - Research Infrastructure Programs) provides $600,000 to Emory University to acquire a new state-of-the-art micro-PET/CT imaging system. The award supports the establishment of an advanced preclinical molecular imaging research platform at Emory's Center for Systems Imaging Core (CSIC). The new micro-PET/CT system will enable high-performance, quantitative imaging of biological processes...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) provides $392,500 to Mainehealth, a non-profit healthcare system in Portland, Maine, to replace their aging small animal microCT imaging system with a new Bruker SkyScan1276 CMOS microCT system. The new microCT system will enable Mainehealth's Small Animal Imaging Facility to continue providing high-resolution imaging services to support 15 major and 3 minor research...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) provides $2,000,000 to upgrade the University of Iowa's current Siemens SOMATOM Force research energy integrating CT scanner to a new Siemens NAEOTOM Alpha photon-counting CT scanner. The university plans to leverage the enhanced imaging capabilities of the new scanner to advance ongoing multi-center studies exploring new phenotypes of lung diseases such as COPD, asthma,...
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a $6,000,000 Project Grant under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute, Inc. (KUMCRI) to replace a damaged animal MRI scanner magnet and gradients. This new state-of-the-art MRI system will support the research initiatives of over 20 NIH-funded investigators across four Midwestern universities and seven NIH-funded research centers, enabling advanced data acquisition and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), provides $1,751,591.00 to Case Western Reserve University to develop a theranostic agent, PSMA-1-PC413, for fluorescence image-guided surgery and photodynamic therapy (PDT) to improve the treatment of prostate cancer. The goal is to more completely remove cancerous tissue during...
This Project Grant award in the amount of $965,755, awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351), aims to establish the groundwork for large-scale access to synchrotron microCT for biology. The award will support the development of a pilot imaging facility at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory to enable histotomography, or 3D high-resolution imaging, of whole, centimeter-scale model organisms and...
