PHSC 6235 — Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Drug Discovery 1
4 semester hoursGraduateLectureusually offered: falltypical days: TBostonOnlineOnlineTraditional
Integrates physics, mathematics, and neuroscience with the cutting-edge technology of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to address drug discovery in the treatment of CNS disorders. Students design their own experiments guided by knowledge of the literature and technical and statistical limitations. Offers students an opportunity to run a state-of-the-art 7.0 Tesla MR animal scanner housed in the Center for Translational NeuroImaging (CTNI) at Northeastern and set parameters for anatomical and functional imaging protocols. Original imaging data is collected and analyzed. This is a discovery-based research course that encourages critical thinking and transdisciplinary learning skills involving an original research project in magnetic resonance imaging related to early drug discovery.
