Magnetic Resonance Microscopy works under the same principle of traditional MRI, only modified for smaller biological systems. Higher magnetic field strengths in conjunction with larger gradients permits imaging of mice and rats with spatial resolution of few tens of microns. My research includes development and application of methodology for imaging of transgenic mice, mice with different tumor models and other clinical disorders. Novel contrast agents will be employed to highlight gene expressions in small embryos and mice models. The new techniques developed and optimized on microscopic systems will later be translated to clinical MR systems.
