Biomedical Imaging is a critical area of research with far reaching scientific and translational opportunities in several areas including: developmental sciences, oncology, genetics, pharmacology, neuroscience, and biomedical informatics. The broader field of biomedical imaging includes multiple sub-disciplines designed to enhance knowledge of how human systems are structured and function.

The Certificate will leverage the exceptional resources offered by the UNC Biomedical Research Imaging Center, both in terms of faculty expertise as well as imaging equipment infrastructure, to provide students with a unique opportunity to learn broadly about the biomedical imaging sciences, as well as to select a specific imaging modality for which to receive training in image acquisition, analysis, and statistics.

Upclose_CTA distinctive features of the Certificate program is the hands-on approach. Students will gain understanding of how different imaging modalities function, including both pre- and clinical imaging systems.
