Our budget for support of our research mission exceeds 100 million dollars and we have a world-class Research Institute Translational Imaging Center, which supports research with several core facilities, including advanced computational imaging and AI, MRI, PET, molecular theranostics, pre-clinical imaging and with a cyclotron and GMP-certified radiochemistry and radiopharmacy lab. These are all factors that help to continue to support and evolve the quality and experience of the education we provide.
