About This Grant

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This shared instrumentation grant proposal seeks funding to upgrade the Bruker 7T preclinical MRI system at the UC Davis Center for Molecular and Genomic Imaging (CMGI), a vital resource supporting a broad community of NIH-funded investigators. The current Bruker AVANCE III console, installed in 2010, has reached end-of-life, with no guaranteed vendor support and limited spare parts, placing the system at significant risk for prolonged downtime. This vulnerability threatens a diverse portfolio of NIH-funded research at UC Davis, encompassing cancer biology, neuroscience, cardiometabolic disease, immunology, molecular imaging, translational nanomedicine, and multi-modal studies integrating MRI with PET and optical imaging. Upgrading to the fully supported AVANCE NEO console is essential to ensure continuity and reliability for these critical research programs. Seamless compatibility with the existing Bruker 7T magnet will enable a smooth transition, minimizing disruption to ongoing studies. With CMGI’s specialized infrastructure and technical expertise in in vivo preclinical imaging, and strong institutional backing for robust operation and long-term maintenance, this upgrade will not only safeguard current research but also empower UC Davis investigators to pursue innovative biomedical studies and accelerate the translation of preclinical discoveries into clinical advances.
