Molecular Imaging for Precision Medicine

At the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia

Our young team of passionate researchers, led by Dr. Irene Marco-Rius, works at the forefront of molecular imaging using a technique that increases the signal of magnetic resonance imaging more than 10.000 times. This dramatic increase means that we can now see molecular processes in real time, in situ, and non-invasively in a wide range of biological systems.

OUR FOCUS

We believe that by utilizing molecular imaging tools we can uncover abnormalities in cell metabolism and assess treatment efficacy.

OUR APPROACH

Combining principles from bioengineering, chemistry, and physics, we tackle biological challenges through innovative solutions. We apply Magnetic Resonance (MR) molecular imaging methods to investigate biochemical pathways in vitro, in vivo, and in innovative bioengineered chip systems.
