Educational Opportunities and Links

Trainees and researchers come from a variety of backgrounds, including medicine, bioengineering, biophysics, chemistry, physics, engineering, and mathematics.

The Resource Center excels at educating future scientists on the fundamentals of magnetic resonance theory and application

Both new and established researchers are aided in learning about new developments in the field and to hone their skills for applications within their own research programs.

Investigators may be trained on an individual basis by Resource staff or through group mechanisms such as seminars, courses, and workshops.

The Resource facility houses over forty desks in a wall-less, cubicle-free environment which promotes open communication and discussion among the Principal Investigator, predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows, and visiting and senior researchers.

Other aspects of the training service are detailed below.

Seminars: Since 1984, the Research Resource has sponsored more than 900 seminars given by scientists from outside institutions. Frequent seminars are also given by members of the laboratory and the University of Pennsylvania community. The lab hosts a biweekly meeting where current trainees and researchers detail their research endeavors.

Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Training: Over the past 19 years, the Research Resource has sponsored the training of 134 young scientists. Of these, twelve were MD/PhD students from the medical school, 51 were PhD students from various departments at the university, and the remainder were postdoctoral fellows (41 MD and 30 PhD).

The faculty of the Research Resource organize and teach several graduate-level courses in MR physics and other basic biomedical sciences. In addition, a biweekly colloquium discussing recent magnetic resonance publications has been organized as a forum for teaching fundamental MR concepts. This colloquium is open to all.

A number of courses on MRI techniques and principles are offered through the Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics graduate group. The most relevant are:

Other Biophysics courses can be found on the official course listing
