A new Imaging Sciences Pathway is open to students in graduate programs in the Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences (DBBS), Chemistry, Physics and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. With over 60 mentors from 17 departments on the Danforth and medical campuses, the Pathway offers diverse, multidisciplinary opportunities. Graduate students who have completed training in the Imaging Sciences Pathway will be poised to follow a unique career trajectory, which may involve imaging technology development, the chemistry and use of novel contrast agents, the visualization and manipulation of macromolecular complexes and organelles in cells and in animals, and the application of these technologies to the visualization of human disease states.
Students who participate in the Imaging Sciences Pathway will obtain their degrees in one of the current science and engineering degree-granting programs; however, their education will be enhanced by an emphasis in interdisciplinary coursework and research experiences in Imaging Sciences.
The curriculum for the Graduate Imaging Sciences Pathway includes taking four core courses to allow trainees to specialize in one or more areas of Imaging Sciences:
- Seminar in Imaging Sciences & Engineering (ESE 596/BME 506/Bio 5139)
- Molecular Cell Biology (Bio 5068) OR Molecular Cell Biology for Engineers (BME 530)
- Principles & Applications of Biological Imaging (Bio 5146)
- Contrast Agents for Biological Imaging (Bio/Chem 5147) OR Biological Imaging Technology ESE 483/583/BME 494)
These courses are described in greater detail below. Additionally, there are relevant courses being taught in other WU departments that may be incorporated into the curriculum.
