<p>Welcome to the Functional Imaging Research Center (FIRC) at the <a href="http://www.mcw.edu/">Medical
College of Wisconsin</a>.
<p>The center was founded with the goal of uniting scientists from many
different disciplines to further the progress of functional imaging. Specifically,
the mission of the FIRC is to capitalize on the interdisciplinary nature
of functional imaging by fostering communication between otherwise disparate
groups of researchers, from biophysicists to neuropsychologists.
<p>It is through such collaborations that we will be able to extend technology
into promising areas of new research, such as molecular imaging, and to
make further inroads into using functional imaging techniques as a critical
tool in medical diagnosis and disease monitoring.
<p>Our current team of investigators includes 29 faculty members from 10
MCW departments (Anesthesiology; Biophysics Research Institute; Cell Biology,
Neurobiology, and Anatomy; Medicine; Neurology; Neurosurgery; Pharmacology
and Toxicology; Physiology; Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine; and Radiology)
as well as investigators from Marquette University, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee,
and the University of New Mexico.
