The demand for novel techniques that enable the investigation of biological samples has led to exciting new developments. State-of-the-art techniques enable the investigation of the morphology and surface structure of cells, cell membranes and their cytoskeleton structures, down to individual biomolecules, nucleic acids and proteins at submolecular resolution.

Imaging plays a crucial role in understanding how the body works in both healthy and disease states and describing responses to physiological or environmental change. It provides important insights into disease mechanisms at organ, tissue, cell, and molecular levels.

Metabolomics aims at a comprehensive qualitative and quantitative analysis of all small molecules present in a cell a tissue or an organism to study the interplay in response to intrinsic and extrinsic factors.

Neuroscience involves the study of neurological disorders and encompasses a wide array of modalities to study the pathology and function of the brain. Our PET/MR instruments allow scientists to address more complicated questions, which are key to understanding a range of debilitating conditions.

Non-invasive imaging provides key insights into tumor development, response to treatment and drug toxicity. The analytical value of individual imaging strategies can be further enhanced by combining structural and functional imaging modalities. Multimodal imaging in preclinical research using in vivo imaging allows cancer-related processes to be visualized in real time with high sensitivity and resolution. A deeper understanding of a range of tumors and improve treatment options have been obtained through the use of a variety of imaging techniques, including MRI, SPECT, PET and CT, and microCT.

Imaging methods have helped researchers determine the precise nature of the underlying causes of many lung disorders, which has significantly improved pneumology diagnoses. Preclinical small animal imaging, in particular, has provided valuable insights into the mechanisms of lung disease and the effects of treatment.
