Our research is focussed on developing imaging techniques to track stem-cells
in vivo. Research entails labelling the stem cells with magnetic resonance
contrast agents and developing imaging technqiues for their detection.
The goal is to utilize high field (3 tesla and 7 Tesla)
imaging to improve the detection capabilities and detect small numbers of labelled cells.
