Partner Info:
The Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón is a public hospital of the Community of Madrid with more than 22 buildings, 800 beds and 8,500 workers. It emphasizes on technological excellence as well as the high quality of its professionals.
The Laboratorio de Imagen Médica (LIM, Medical Imaging Laboratory) is part of the Unidad de Medicina y Cirugía Experimental (Experimental Medicine and Surgery Unit), and has a long standing experience in molecular imaging and technology development. LIM has assumed a leadership role in medical imaging in Spain, working in close collaboration with the Spanish Research Council and the main Technology Institutes and Medicine Schools. Since 1997 the LIM has been involved in 35 national projects and 6 international projects, further serving several technology transfer contracts with several multinational companies regarding software and hardware developments.
Starting in 2006, the LIM is the scientific leader of a CENIT project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Industry, a project focused on molecular imaging research with special emphasis in technology development and clinical applications. The LIM also participates on a CIBER action for the Ministry of Health and Human Services providing the technological development and support for biomedical imaging in psychiatric research. Before that, the LIM was the main coordinator of a nation-wide medical imaging excellence network comprised by 50 research groups and 29 centers from all around Spain. LIM has developed an imaging suite equipped with small-animal high-resolution systems for MRI (7T), PET, CT, SPECT and optical imaging. Surgical, microsurgical and animal housing facilities are available on site, as is a molecular biology laboratory equipped with standard instrumentation. A hardware workshop and an electronics laboratory are also available to the researchers.
