30 May 2012 - Monash Biomedical Imaging OpeningThe Monash Biomedical Imaging facility at 770 Blackburn Rd, Clayton was officially opened by The Hon Louise Asher MP, Victorian Minister for Innovation, and Professor Edward Byrne AO, Vice-Chancellor and President, Monash University, on Wednesday 30 May, 2012. Monash Biomedical Imaging was made possible by the support of both the Commonwealth and Victorian Governments. Channel 7 news coverage of the event included information on the ASPREE Trial which will utilise the new MRI facility at Monash Biomedical Imaging. This footage can be viewed at the following link: http://au.news.yahoo.com/vic/latest/a/-/newshome/13821058/test-the-benefits-of-aspirin/ A Symposium on Imaging brain development and plasticity was held in the afternoon, with keynote speaker Prof Euan Wallace, Director, Ritchie Centre and Director of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Southern Health who presented "Cell therapies for tomorrow's medicine: seeing the road ahead". The symposium also showcased other clinical and fundamental research in the area of degenerative and developmental brain injury, focusing on the current or potential application of imaging technologies to enhance our understanding of injury mechanisms. Building update April 2012Renovation of the ground floor of building 220 to accommodate our new facilities has been completed. This included the creation of a new entrance to the north side of the building, a link to the Imaging and Medical Beamline at the Australian Synchrotron, and shielding of the MRI rooms.
