Brief

Consortium molecular-imaging resources workshop is Nov. 22

Center and University of Washington faculty, staff and students are invited to attend a workshop on molecular imaging capabilities that are available throughout the Fred Hutchinson/UW Cancer Consortium. The workshop will take place from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 22 at the UW South Campus Center.

In addition to introducing the available technologies, the workshop will provide opportunities for imaging investigators and other researchers to interact and explore the potential for future collaborations among members of both institutions. Those currently using or considering using imaging in their research are welcome to attend. An agenda for future, regular group meetings will be established at the workshop.
