The Rutgers University Molecular Imaging Core (RUMIC) and the Advanced Preclinical Imaging Lab (APIL) are offering tours throughout the months of March & April 2024.
Each tour consists of a brief presentation, providing an overview of the use and capabilities of the Cores, followed by a short demo for each imaging system. Examples of image processing and data analysis will be presented and the application of imaging technology to research will be discussed.
Located within the vivarium at the base of the Research Tower on Busch Campus, the RUMIC provides researchers from Rutgers University and the surrounding academic community, as well as scientists from local biotech, pharmaceutical and consumer products industries with non-invasive approaches to study various biological and disease models in small animals, biological specimens, ex vivo tissues, biomaterials, or physical objects.
Investigators from the Newark Campus can attend the presentations remotely and then arrange tours and demos of imaging equipment maintained at the Advanced Preclinical Imaging Lab (APIL), located within the MSB vivarium.
