Atlanta Translational Imaging Consortium (ATIC)
Given the broad use of development of reagents for animal imaging and theronostic research, we are actualizing a broadly distributed center model to catalyze the growth of a collaborative and coherent Atlanta translational research community.
- Clark Atlanta University’s Center for Cancer Research and Therapeutic Development CCRTD
- Emory University’s Center for Systems Imaging Core
- Emory University’s National Primate Research Center
- Georgia State\Georgia Tech’s Center for Advanced Brain Imaging
Goals
We will establish, expand, and maintain core user accessibility and pool expertise to:
- Acquire/upgrade cutting edge and complementary equipment (S10 grants)
- Translate research in development of probes, contrast agents and drug candidates to clinical application
- Increase access to equipment and expertise
- Increase capability for data collection and imaging analysis
- Share animal models and expertise for translational research
- Increase funding for animal related research
- Promote education and knowledge exchanges for training and workforce sharing
- Facilitate hiring and growth in translational research
