DIR Programs and Initiatives

The Office of the Scientific Director has established several programs and initiatives centered around a particular modality or disease, with the goal of speeding research discoveries towards clinical application. Current DIR programs focus on medical imaging and sickle cell disease.

Our Programs

Chemistry and Synthesis Center (CSC)

The Chemistry and Synthesis Center provides DIR researchers with targeted imaging probes that help accelerate cell based assays, in vivo imaging studies, and translational research leading to better disease diagnosis. The Center comprises a core synthesis facility dedicated to the preparation of imaging probes, and a research component dedicated to the discovery of new imaging approaches and compositions.
