The QBI Lab

Based at the University of Manchester in the UK, we use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT) and other modalities with state-of-the-art analysis techniques to provide quantitative information about the structure and function of both normal and diseased tissues.

Working to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) procedures—and with a particular focus on drug trials in cancer—we are at the forefront of developing and applying robust methods to understand disease and help accelerate the development of better treatments.

We are based within the School of Medicine’s Imaging Science and Biomedical Engineering Research Group. We collaborate with staff at University teaching hospitals in Manchester and with clinical sites worldwide. We have particularly strong links with Manchester’s Christie Hospital—one of the largest cancer hospitals in Europe.

We work with world-leading pharmaceutical companies and with charitable and governmental funding agencies.
