The research theme of the Preclinical MRI Centre is in line with the General and Specific Objectives of the INSPIRE Project and will be validated by the Scientific Council of ICI-BNS, upon proposal of the General Assembly of the Members of the Centre.
Equipment:
The equipment available to the Preclinical MRI Centre for the planned experimental research are that acquired through Inspire Project Project :
- Bruker-type 11.7 T preclinical MRI scanner
- Preclinical EPR scanner,
- Previously existing equipment in the laboratories involved.
Access to these facilities for potentially interested researchers from outside the Centre is on the basis of projects presented and endorsed at the Centre’s scientific seminars, with the establishment of scientific and financial obligations, depending on the time of use and consumables used, projects subsequently approved by the ICIBNS Scientific Council.
