Welcome to the Lenkinski Laboratory at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.The MR research division of the BIDMC integrates clinical expertise with innovative scientific research. One of our major research areas is in clinical applications of in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy. We are also developing in vivo multinuclear MR imaging methods, primarily Na-23, and currently, we are focusing on molecular imaging, including the development of novel MR and optical-based imaging contrast agents.Working with one of our major collaborators, the Frangioni laboratory, we formed the discovery engine for the BIDMC Center for Molecular Imaging. Our two laboratories are developing new contrast agents and imaging technologies. To perform proof of principle for the new discoveries and working closely with the Frangioni laboratory, we created the Longwood Small Animal Imaging Facility (Longwood SAIF). This facility also serves as a resource for the BIDMC and the research community of the Longwood Medical Area of Harvard Medical School and the greater Boston medical community. The Lenkinski laboratory, in conjunction with the Longwood SAIF, is pushing the boundaries of what is possible in MR and molecular imaging. |
