HistoryThere is an ever-increasing demand for new and more sophisticated imaging probes for experimental research and clinical application, especially with the escalation of molecular medicine approaches to therapy design. The primary mission of this Resource is to provide expertise in the design, synthesis, and production of radioactive or stable agents for imaging of cancer and make such agents available to MIC investigators. Our vision is for the USC MIC to have a comprehensive imaging program focused on the development of new radiotracers and non-radioactive biological probes for use in interdisciplinary biomedical research and imaging.SpecialtiesThe mission of the USC Molecular Imaging Center to promote the use of imaging to: a) rapidly and effectively translate developments in cellular and molecular biology, chemistry, neurosciences, physics, computer sciences, engineering and instrumentation into improvements in cancer patient care, b) facilitate further advances in the understanding of the molecular basis of this disease, and c) train future investigators that will have the requisite multidisciplinary skills to effectively lead the expansion of molecular medical techniques.
