Quantitative MR imaging Laboratory for Cell and Tissue Engineering

The Quantitative MR imaging laboratory for Cell and Tissue Engineering is committed to developing new non-invasive imaging advances to enable the translation of cell and tissue engineering approaches into the clinic. To achieve this, we are developing advanced cellular imaging technologies for stem cell regeneration in the heart and other organs in which stem cell-based regeneration is being explored. We are also developing advanced molecular imaging technologies for early detection of hard-to-detect pathologies, such as fibrosis. The comprehensive non-invasive imaging platform we are building fills a void that exists in current diagnostics and enables our parallel effort in building a whole heart.
