About Rutgers Molecular Imaging Center and the Aspect M2
The Rutgers Molecular Imaging Center received the Aspect M2 in the summer of 2012. With the versatility of the M2, a wide range of studies and over 85000 scans have been completed at the center. We have had conventional scans such as cancers, traumatic brain injuries, contrast agents, and other biologicals. The center has also reviewed items such as flow measurements of toothpaste, water filters in action, and pills breaking down during digestion. Please join us as we review examples of the various scans completed here at Rutgers University.
The Rutgers Molecular Imaging Center received the Aspect M2 in 2012. Since the M2’s arrival, it has been one of the most utilized instruments at our center. As of May 1st, 2021, the instrument has seen over 6900 hours of use generating 450 projects/patient files comprising a total of over 85,000 scans. Since the M2 was installed, a combination of 60 departments (over 100 researchers) from multiple universities and pharmaceutical companies have had scans completed at Rutgers. At least ten users from five different departments have been trained over the years to independently run the MRI. This webinar will highlight some of the scans completed here at the center.
One major focus of the center has been the brain and central nervous system. Some examples are the following: Longevity scans of Traumatic Brain Injury have been completed using the Mouse Brain Coil. For another TBI investigator project, leakage into the ventricles post-injury has been tracked with the use of positive contrast agents. Negative contrast agents have been utilized to track stem cells traveling from the lower vertebrae up the spine to points of injury or accumulating around damage in the brain. Changes to the brain following low levels of radiation exposure have been observed using the rat coil. Spontaneous paralysis was reviewed when phenotyping a new mouse strain. A wound healing model tracked the progress of recovery within a spinal injury model.
A second important focus involves cancer models actively scanned at Rutgers. Multiple investigators track the progress of lung cancer and its metastasis. Another investigator tracked cancers in the liver through an interesting negative contrast technique. One Cancer Institute of NJ investigator tracked prostate growth in the same mice for up to two years. Yet another research group tracked an aggressive lymphoma on a weekly basis. Other interesting cancer scans that have been recorded are tumors in the bone, under the tongue, breast duct, uterus, just to name a few of the ones scanned at the center.
(December 2, 2021) The Bench to Bedside Series: Preclinical Cancer Research w...Scintica Instrumentation
Overview:
The goal of this webinar will be to provide a high-level overview of the various stages of preclinical cancer research and discuss the role that innovative instrumentation can play in moving science forward.
To better understand how to treat and control cancer, researchers start by investigating the basics – the cells, molecules, and genes that make up the human body. This type of study, which is often referred to as basic or discovery research, aims to understand the underlying mechanisms contributing to cancer growth and spread. This knowledge is an essential starting point for developing future diagnostic tests and treatment strategies.
After finding an innovative idea that works in cells, researchers need to take their studies to the next level by employing animal models that have similar biology to humans. Animal models have helped scientists make some of the most important cancer discoveries over the years. Furthermore, preclinical imaging technologies allow researchers to perform longitudinal animal studies that are noninvasive leaving the underlying biology intact so that one can track changes throughout the entire disease process.
It was previously thought that the journey from bench to bedside was unidirectional, starting with discovery research and moving towards clinical trials. However, in the last decade, it has become crucial for basic scientists and clinicians to work together towards finding innovative solutions that will positively impact patient care.
After attending this webinar, we hope you will have a better understanding of the preclinical workflow needed to push an idea from bench to bedside as well as some of the key equipment that is needed along the way.
This webinar series will be hosted by Drs. Katie Parkins and Tyler Lalonde, both of which have extensive experience in translational research areas including oncology, neuroscience, molecular imaging, and drug development.
In this webinar we will discuss the following topics:
• Introduction To Cancer Research
• What does “Bench to Bedside” mean?
• In vitro characterization
• Rapid throughput screening
• Quantitative tools
• Moving towards translation
Regular cancer treatment focuses on killing the cancer cells through large doses of medicine, but it also kills other cells in the body and causes significant side effects and potential long-term effects. UCalgary researcher David Cramb – who looks at using nanoparticles to deliver the drugs solely to the tumor in much smaller, more effective quantities shares the potential breakthroughs that can be made possible through nanomedicine both in the treatment and diagnosis of cancer.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

A Future Outlook of 3D Cell Culture
OPENING ADDRESS
09.10 Regulatory outlook on 3D Cell Culture Models
• An overview of the applicable regulatory guidelines
• Validating new technology, relevant quality considerations and
regulatory processes
• Challenges for the traditional regulatory framework
Leonard Both, Senior Quality Assessor, Biologicals/Biotechnology
Unit, MHRA
09.50 Addressing unmet needs in 3D cell systems to drive replacement of
animal modelling
• Much progress has been made in 3D cell model development,
to the point that many sub-organ level systems can now be
effectively recapitulated in vitro
• However, there are several key areas which have yet to be
effectively tackled, such as the immune system and tissue
vascularization and innervation
• Given that these systems or structures are implicated in most
physiological processes and many disease states, making
progress on these difficult to tackle topics is key to the future
success of 3D modelling approaches
• By addressing these areas of unmet need, animal modelling
paradigms will increasingly be replaced or augmented with
human cell-based systems
Samuel Jackson, Programme Manager, Disease Models Efficacy
and Safety Pharmacology, NC3Rs

• Conception and optimization of a novel biofabrication workflow
for the development of 3D tissue models i.e. the bioprinting and
dispensing of matrix-based cellular constructs under oil prior to
media transfer
• A joint collaboration between OxSyBio and MRC Harwell led to
the development of a 3D white adipose tissue (WAT) model for
mechanistic studies of metabolic diseases
• Extensive characterization of the adipogenic spheroid (i.e. the 3D
WAT) revealed the model was reproducible, highly differentiated,
had active lipid metabolism and was drug-responsive
• Establishment of high throughput monitoring of drug-effects
on 3D WAT models on a 96-well scale. Specifically, using high
