Stanford University Cancer Imaging Shared Resource

Stanford University Cancer Imaging Shared Resource provides investigators with support and training to accelerate and refine integrative studies in animal models of human cancer.

The resource provides equipment, training and assistance to investigators who use advanced molecular imaging approaches, including the instrumentation, molecular probes and reporter genes necessary for conducting these studies. The shared resource complements the Cancer Imaging Research Program, as well as other programs including Bone Marrow Transplantation and Immunology. Its overall objectives are to help advance our understanding of the molecular basis of malignancy by applying state-of-the-art imaging approaches to sophisticated animal models, to serve as a test bed for advances in molecular imaging that have preclinical and clinical applications and to support the evaluation of novel therapeutic strategies using imaging as an outcome measure.
