Areas of Research


Welcome to TMII at Mount Sinai

The mission of The Translational and Molecular Imaging Institute (TMII) is to research, develop, and apply a new generation of imaging methodologies in order to advance preclinical and translational research activities. This will result in new methods for drug delivery, as well as in the establishment of new classes of contrast agents which may improve disease detection, disease characterization, clinical diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of therapeutic responses.

The institute aims to promote an array of next-generation, world-class biomedical imaging resources to be used by clinical and translational researchers of the various institutes at Mount Sinai as well as by our collaborators. TMII provides advanced, highly efficient and cost-effective imaging services, and offers expertise for the development and validation of new procedures, encouraging interdisciplinary collaborations that merge the gap between preclinical and clinical research.

One of the key missions of the institute is to educate researchers, postdoctoral fellows, students and technicians about biomedical imaging advances through targeted seminars, research fellowships, publications, established training programs and symposiums.

TMII is organized in three different Programs and a Core: The Cardiovascular Imaging Program is headed by Zahi A. Fayad, Ph.D.; the Neuroimaging Program by Cheuk Y. Tang, Ph.D., the Nanomedicine Program by Willem J.M. Mulder, Ph.D.; and the Cell Tracking Core is directed by Karen Briley-Saebo, Ph.D.

TMII is at the forefront of advancing the science of imaging and translational research, and facilitates the transformation of clinical medicine.
