Welcome to the website of the molecular Small Animal Imaging Centre of the K.U.Leuven (moSAIC)
Different in-vivo imaging modalities (µPET, µSPECT, µCT, µNMR, bioluminescence, ultrasound) and a lab for small animal radiotherapy have been centralized in a new lab conveniently localized close to the animal facility. Supporting techniques such as autoradiography, microsurgery, ex-vivo gammacounting are also available.
The lab combines a Biohazard Class II lab with a Class B radiation lab and allows to work safely with transgenic animals.
The centre performs research studies with internal and external partners and contract research with industry.
We will be pleased to cooperate with you to plan and perform small animal imaging studies, please contact us if you are interested.
The following groups participate in moSAIC:
Laboratory for Molecular Virology and Gene Therapy + Laboratory for Neurobiology and Gene Therapy (website)
Nuclear Medicine and radiopharmacy
