Bylaws of the Center for Molecular and Biomolecular Imaging
Article 1: Name and Purpose
- The name of the Center is the Center for Molecular and Biomolecular Imaging, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina.
- The activities of the Center include presentation of a seminar series, administration of shared instrumentation, and other functions that promote teaching, basic and translational research, and technology transfer in Molecular and Biomolecular Imaging.
- The Center for Molecular and Biomolecular Imaging is a multidisciplinary Program that integrates activities in engineering, the life sciences and medicine. Participating faculty are based in Departments across the University, including basic science departments (such as Chemistry, Physics, and Biology), engineering departments (such as Biomedical Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering) and medical school departments (such as Biochemistry and Radiology); this list is meant to be representative, not exclusive. The Program emphasizes research, education and interactions with industry. The focus of the Program is upon imaging technologies, from the subcellular level to preclinical (animal) and clinical (human) studies in biological systems. Such work spans the most basic research to direct research applications and implementations in medicine and health care. It may also incorporate significant thrusts in non-biological imaging.
