The Chemical Biology Centre, a joint venture of Imperial College London, the Institute of Cancer Research and the London Research Institute of Cancer Research UK has fully funded studentships available on this 1-year course, commencing in October 2008.
The course will cover all the fundamentals of modern bioimaging methodologies (PET, MRI, Optical Imaging, Ultrasound, Pharmacology and Image Computation) – including their techniques and application within medicine and the pharmaceutical industry, along with the chemistry behind imaging agents, drugs and biomarkers.
The course consists of an 8-month interdisciplinary research project, taught lecture modules on elementary and advanced aspects of bioimaging techniques and applications, specialist lectures in transferable skills, literature review on an imaging-related topic, group project and workshops on the latest developments of imaging science.
All applicants wishing to apply for funded studentships must be UK/EU residents with (or about to obtain) a good degree (2(i) or above) in a physical science subject.
The science-based course content will cover the following broad topics:
1.)The Chemistry of Imaging
2.)Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
3.)Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
4.)Optical Imaging
5.)Image Computation
6.)Ultrasound and Microwave Imaging
7.)Anatomy and Physiology
8.)Pharmacology of Imaging
The transferable skills components will include
1.)Safety Awareness
2.)Intellectual Property Management
3.)Time and Project Management
4.)Presentation and Communication Skills.
