A key initial focus of our Hub is to investigate the biodistribution and behaviour of transplanted cells in mouse models of liver and kidney injury, using various whole animal imaging techniques. Our University is now committed to investing in this area and we are planning to set up a centre for preclinical imaging with the following imaging modalities: MRI, SPECT, CT, photoacoustic imaging (MSOT from iTHera Medical), bioluminescence/fluorescence (IVIS Spectrum). We are also currently advertising for someone to head the centre (please see attached), and ideally, would prefer someone who has experience of high-field strength MRI, but who also has the enthusiasm to develop multi modal imaging platforms, and to make this facility become a recognised centre of excellence. I would be very grateful if you could send the attached advert to anyone you might know who could be interested in such a position. I am very happy to be contacted for further information. With best wishes Trish Murray Stem Cell Group Institute of Translational Medicine University of Liverpool, UK 0044-151-7945450blackie@mbi.ufl.edu <mailto:Dr.%20Stephen%20John%20Blackband%20%3Cblackie@mbi.ufl.edu%3E> *Reader/Professor of Biomedical Imaging (negotiable salary)* *Ref: A-579289/WWW* *Deadline 31^st May*** The University of Liverpool, UK is investing in state-of-the-art imaging platforms, including high field strength MRI, photoacoustics and next generation SPECT as part of an initiative to establish a Centre for Preclinical Imaging.
