Group Description

The MRC Clinical Sciences Centre has well established laboratories for carrying out molecular imaging research in humans and animals along with programmes in genomics, proteomics, and immunology. The Cyclotron Building, Hammersmith Hospital, has working groups dealing with PET instrumentation physics, image coregistration, radiochemistry, neurodegenerative diseases, cerebral ischemia, psychiatry, oncology, and gene and stem cell-based therapies. The Cyclotron Building houses three dedicated high-resolution PET scanners (Siemens ECAT HR+, HR++, and 953B), a small animal PET (Siemens CTI), and a quad HIDAC camera. The NMR unit houses 3T human and a 7T animal MRIs (Phillips). The Hammersmith Group, therefore, has all infrastructure necessary to carry out innovative research integrating PET, MRI, and molecular medicine. [read more]
