Integrating Structure and Chemistry in Biomedical Imaging

Biomedical imaging, for centuries, has been based on an examination of structure alone. At the same time, recent advances in molecular biology are transforming all aspects of biomedical sciences. The coming transformation in imaging sciences, hence, is to use this emerging biochemical and molecular information to understand and predict processes in cells and tissues. The integration of spatial, temporal and biochemical information is a challenging arena that holds promise in the understanding of disease states, design of novel instruments and development of mathematical tools. In this symposium, we hope to highlight these emerging aspects of biomedical imaging.
