Medical and Biological Imaging Research Exchange

The Medical and Biological Imaging Research Exchange took place on February 4, 2010 at the Curry Student Center Ballroom. Presentations by Northeastern University faculty and researchers were organized in four thematic sessions. Each session was followed by a panel discussion.

  • Imaging and Molecular Interactions
  • Imaging Algorithms and Computation
  • Imaging and Behavior
  • Imaging Technologies and Applications
