The Colorado NORC offers several events throughout the year to facilitate collaborative research and networking. See below for upcoming and past events.
We are pleased to announce the first “Metabolic Imaging Workshop” to be hosted by the Colorado Nutrition and Obesity Research Center (NORC) and the Colorado Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CCTSI). This workshop will provide a broad overview on state-of-the-art metabolic imaging modalities and protocols including PET/CT, PET/MRI, MRI/MRS, QCT, DXA, and ultrasound. This 1.5-day workshop will be held July 11-12, 2022. The target audience is undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral students in biomedical sciences (medicine, bioengineering, physiology, nutrition, biology, etc.) and non-imaging scientists who are interested in implementing imaging technologies into their biomedical research.
The workshop will be limited to the first 100 registrants.
