Welcome to the Centre for Advanced Imaging
The Centre for Advanced Imaging (CAI) brings together the skills of a critical mass of researchers and ‘state-of-the-art’ research imaging instruments. It is the only facility of its type in Australia, one of only a handful in the world.
The CAI was created in 2009 as a strategic initiative of The University of Queensland (UQ) and reflects the growing role of imaging in cutting-edge biotechnology and biomedical research at UQ.
CAI Highlights
-
Transferrin levels and iron processing genes related to brain structure changes
Dr Katie McMahon and her colleagues have recently published a paper in the prestigious journal PNAS on a discovery that may shed light on the neural mechanisms by which iron affects cognition, neurodevelopment, and neurodegeneration. Read more about this publication.
- Parkinson's Disease research: Identifying the neural substrate Congratulations to Dr Anthony Angwin (SHRS), A/Prof David Copland (UQCCR), Dr Katie McMahon (CAI), Dr Nadeeka Dissanayaka (RBWH) and Prof Peter Silburn (UQCCR) who have been awarded $20,000 by Parkinson's Disease Queensland for their research project entitled Cognitive sequelae in Parkinson’s disease: Identifying the neural substrates.
