The Biomedical Imaging Research Institute (BIRI) features experts from a variety of medical specialties, offering the opportunity to share discoveries and advance our imaging research. The Neuroimaging Research Program at BIRI is dedicated to building a solid brain research program to better understand the mechanisms underlying central nervous system development and diseases. Leveraging advanced neuroimaging techniques (e.g., PET and MRI) and novel analytical tools, we work closely with clinicians to improve our understanding of the brain’s development and functional mechanisms in both normal and at-risk/diseased populations. Our long-term mission is to derive imaging-based objective biomarkers to aid early diagnosis and better monitoring of various brain disorders/diseases, as well as to provide more effective guidance for potential intervention and treatment strategies.
Biomarkers and Precision Medicine
Cedars-Sinai Precision Biomarker Laboratories is a proteomic biomarker discovery, development and commercialization services provider that aims to leverage proteomics to help realize the potential of precision medicine.
Resources
The program sponsors membership fees for national neurology or neurobehavior-specific organizations as well as a book allowance for educational materials.
Neurobehavior toolbox: The neurobehavior education toolbox provides fellows access to a library of online educational resources including relevant peer-reviewed papers, neurobehavior tools and assessments, and other pertinent department information.
