Preclinical and Cellular Imaging

The preclinical research arm of the UCLA Brain Tumor Imaging Laboratory (BTIL) delves into the foundational aspects of brain tumor research. Operating at the intersection of laboratory investigation and translational medicine, our preclinical studies involve the in-depth examination of brain tumor models in controlled environments. Through meticulous experimentation, data analysis, and the application of advanced imaging technologies, our goal is to uncover fundamental insights into the intricate mechanisms underlying brain tumors. These insights not only drive our clinical efforts but also pave the way for innovative therapeutic approaches in the battle against brain cancer.
