Our Facilities

Picture
Our state of the art facility opened in 2017 and was made possible in part due to a grant from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center.  Together, MCIF and the adjacent Lurie Family Imaging Center (LFIC) provide complete project support from radiotracer design and synthesis to image acquisition, analysis and interpretation.
