Researchers have tracked a molecule that targets the heart using imaging techniques supported by NIF, taking them a step closer to preventing a common genetic cardiac condition.
NIF infrastructure is enabling the Muscle Growth in the Lower Extremity (MUGgLE) Study, the first longitudinal study comparing muscle growth in children with cerebral palsy and typically developing children.
Cancer research will advance and personalised treatment will come a step closer, with installation of NIF’s new nanoScan PET/MRI 3T camera for preclinical studies.
Using advanced NIF imaging techniques to study bird skulls is helping researchers understand how they see, how they evolved to hunt at night, and the best ways to protect them. In the process, researchers are also digitising valuable museum collections, connecting communities to nature and science and unlocking possibilities for researchers to investigate our natural world.
It is required for NIF to be acknowledged in publications and presentations resulting from access to our instrumentation and expertise.
Why?
Acknowledgements are evidence that investments in equipment and people have led to real research outcomes. This helps us to make the case for future investments – both in the next generation of instrumentation, and in the people needed to support user communities working in the facility.
Also, we find papers through online databases by searching for “National Imaging Facility” in the acknowledgements section. If you want to ensure your publications are recognised and promoted, make sure to appropriately acknowledge the facilities that enabled your work.
Acknowledgement is important to the future of research because it tangibly helps sustain world-class imaging capabilities in Australia. Help us to help you!
