RESEARCH

Biomedical Instrumentation

The are many groups doing exciting Biomedical Instrumentation research at Berkeley, UCSF and LBNL. These include improved or novel medical imaging scanner construction, including Nuclear Medicine detectors and systems, MRI hardware and systems and Ultrasound hardware and diagnostic software. Many researchers focus on various technologies for improved therapy, and on novel cellular imaging. There are many working on technology to study fundamental neuroscience and to develop novel sensors and systems for high throughput biological assays. UCSF, Berkeley, and LBNL have all invested heavily into biomedical scanners and other instrumentation, including the atest generation 1.5, T, 3.0 T and 7 T GE MRI scanners at the new Mission Bay Campus, a 4 T MRI scanner for fMRI at Berkeley, and several experimental nuclear medicine scanners. The research environment at Berkeley, UCSF, and LBNL will allow a graduate student to train for an exciting and high-impact career in Biomedical Instrumentation.
