ABOUT US

Research in the Cheng laboratory is focused on the development of non-gadolinium contrast agents and quantitative magnetic resonance imaging technology to enable early detection of cardiovascular diseases and to guide new stem cell and tissue engineering therapeutics. We take imaging beyond its role as an anatomical tool and advance it to probe dynamic events at a physiological, cellular, and molecular level. An important philosophy at the heart of our research is translation to patients – hence, our emphasis on faithful animal models of human disease, rapid imaging capabilities, and new contrast agents with a safer toxicity profile than the clinical standard.
