CE 424LEC - Principles, Tools, and Applications of In Vivo Molecular Imaging

Molecular imaging is a highly interdisciplinary field in which fundamental biological processes are visualized, quantified, analyzed, and modeled in living subjects. In this course, fundamental aspects of chemical engineering, radiology (physics), applied chemistry, and applied biology are taught in an integrated manner. Students learn how to read, analyze, and interpret the molecular imaging literature as well as how to analyze a molecular image. Further, students learn how to apply chemical and biological engineering principles to design molecular probes and reporter genes. Finally, students learn the basic design and function of various instrumentation used in molecular imaging, and how molecular imaging products are generated for the clinical care of patients. This course is dual listed with CE 524.
