Center for Molecular Imaging

University of Michigan

The Center for Molecular Imaging is a state-of-the-art facility aimed at providing the research community with the latest imaging Instruments. CMI is located at the Biomedical Science Research Building and is a shared resource aimed at providing state-of-the-art imaging services for the research community.

Gary and Kathy Luker lab

University of Michigan

The Luker lab studies functions of cell signaling in primary and metastatic cancer. Their multidisciplinary group combines expertise in medicine, biology, and engineering to uncover the mechanisms by which biochemical events in the tumor microenvironment, including chemokine signaling, metabolic regulation, and extracellular matrix interactions regulate the disease progression and response to therapy.

Mitra Aliabouzar lab

University of Michigan

The Aliabouzar lab aims to develop ultrasound-based technologies for micron-scale tissue characterization. More broadly, the lab investigates how ultrasound-induced bubbles can be used to probe into the viscoelasticity of the surrounding medium.

Mario Fabiilli lab

University of Michigan

The Fabiilli lab develops biomaterials that enable the controlled delivery of therapeutic molecules (e.g., proteins, DNA) using focused ultrasound. The use of focused ultrasound enables us to control the localization of a therapeutic agent in both space and time. Non-invasive ultrasound also enables active control of drug release and uptake, which is unlike conventional drug formulations or delivery techniques. Our goal is to improve the efficacy and mitigate toxicity of various classes of therapeutic agents while also enabling personalization of a drug therapy based on patient response.
