Biophysics Group Director Iwao Kanno (Ph.D.)

introduction

The aim of the Biophysics Group is to perform accurate measurements of biological parameters with positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in humans and animals. The group consists of four teams: Magnetic Resonance Probing, Imaging Physics, Image Analysis and Biosignal Physiology. The Magnetic Resonance Probing and Imaging Physics teams develop highly-sensitive methods for extracting signals from MRI and PET respectively. The Image Analysis team analyzes these images to quantify biological parameters. The Biosignal Physiology team aims to understand the physiological and biochemical meaning of these biosignals in conjunction with information derived from two-photon microscopy and electrophysiology.
