CABI OFFICIAL OPENING

UCL Centre for Advanced Biomedical Imaging, London, UK

The UCL Centre for Advanced Biomedical Imaging (CABI), a new multidisciplinary research centre for experimental biomedical imaging, was officially opened by the Provost and President of UCL, Malcolm Grant.

As part of this opening, Laura Cinti presented her Nanomagnetic Plants publicly for the first time. These plants show slight movement when an external magnet is positioned close to them. Her experimental art practice was developed in an interdisciplinary capacity with the centre.

The MRI Scanner - "The experimental MRI scanner installed in CABI utilises a much higher magnetic field compared to a typical clinical scanner, allowing us to push the boundaries of anatomical imaging and acquire images with less than 40 micron resolution."
