Biomedical/In vivo Imaging

About the STP

The Preclinical arm of the Biomedical/In vivo Imaging UCL STP is supported by UCL’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 UCL and the wider academic and industrial community.​

The Clinical Imaging arm of the UCL Biomedical/In vivo Imaging STP has supported cutting-edge facilities in the Department of Neuroinflammation, Birkbeck-UCL 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.
