Reasons to study

This program offers interdisciplinary training in molecular imaging, uniting graduate learners and faculty from various disciplines.

Interdisciplinary training

Leverage the perspective and experience of a diverse group of graduate learners and faculty to deepen your understanding of the field of molecular imaging.

Earn your degree with a specialization, like an MSc in Chemistry with Molecular Imaging.

Specialized graduate degree

The specialization  results in a degree in your participating program along with a transcript notation indicating the additional specialization that has been attained. For example: MSc in Chemistry with specialization in Molecular Imaging.

Featured course

Molecular Imaging (MBP 9518B)

This one-term course, taken in your first year, explores advanced methods for studying molecular disease mechanisms in vivo. Led by Western’s expert researchers in molecular imaging, you'll examine DNA/protein synthesis, transgenic models, novel imaging contrast agents, and small animal imaging. Active participation in the presentation and discussion of relevant published articles is required.
