Engineers have developed advanced imaging techniques crucial for diagnosing and treating diseases. At Cornell, engineers, scientists, and doctors work together to enhance these tools. Faculty at the Meinig School focus on imaging biological structures. They study everything from large molecules to entire organisms, across various time and frequency scales.
Our faculty explore different imaging methods, including optical imaging, MRI, and CT scans. Cornell is a leader in nonlinear optical imaging for live subjects. They are also creating novel contrast agents for clinical and research use. These tools aid in studying and treating diseases like Alzheimer’s, cancer, and heart conditions. Furthermore, biomedical imaging at Cornell overlaps with other fields and is useful for testing materials, validating models, monitoring drug delivery, and studying mechanical properties.
The faculty researchers in this area exemplify the collaborative nature of the work done at Cornell Engineering.
