The In Vivo Cellular and Molecular Imaging (ICMI) Core Facility at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel is specialized in nuclear and optical imaging of small animals. The lab is equipped with a myriad of state-of-the art multi-modality cameras and ex vivo analysis techniques to study tracer biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, dosimetry, and therapeutic efficacy of (radio)pharmaceuticals. The latest addition in the fee-for-services range is the imaging of living cells, while they are in a true and complex environment, using intravital microscopy.
The team of scientific experts provides invaluable expertise in developing imaging protocols, contrast agents, tracers, and image processing to ensure that your research yields reliable and accurate results. We believe that molecular imaging can greatly accelerate drug development by providing better insights faster in drug targeting and pharmacokinetics, leading to better decision making.
