Our Programs

Advanced 
Human Imaging

We provide cutting-edge imaging capabilities essential for studying brain function, disease states, aging, and drug development; and help address health challenges like dementia, epilepsy, stroke and mental health.

Preclinical and 
Frontier Imaging

We provide specialised infrastructure for advanced imaging of preclinical models, plants, specimens, materials and minerals – advancing Australia’s industries and digitising its national-priority collections.

Radiopharmaceuticals

We support the development of radiopharmaceuticals and enable access to cyclotrons for producing radioisotopes, vital for diagnosis and therapy.

Imaging Data Collections and Partnerships

We play a pivotal role in creating imaging data collections of national priority, and working to deploy digital infrastructure and expertise to support critical medical research and facilitate applying AI solutions in healthcare.
