Simches Research Center
The Simches Research Center houses the Mouse Imaging Program (MIP) at the Center for Molecular Imaging Research. The facility also houses Dr. Nahrendorf's, Dr. Chen's, Dr. Vinegoni's, Dr. Pittet's and Dr. Guimaraes's laboratories, part of the Bioinformatics Core (BIC) and administrative staff. The building is in the close proximity to the main clinical area which facilitates imaging of tissue samples and PET isotope production.
