Preclinical Imaging

Research Works

Principal investigator : Angèle VIOLA

The purpose of the preclinical research undertaken in our team is to increase the knowledge on the pathogenesis of infectious and inflammatory diseases by investigating relevant experimental models. We also develop new MR methods and post-processing tools that could ameliorate in vivo MR exploration of these models.
