Research
The Children's Hospital at Montefiore is the Pediatric University Hospital for Albert Einstein College of Medicine. As such, we are committed to translating pioneering scientific discoveries and leading-edge research into exciting new diagnostics, treatments and therapies for the children we treat.
Our esteemed leaders of the Division of Radiology at CHAM are recognized experts in the field, renowned for their commitment to providing patients access to the innovations made possible because of the Montefiore-Einstein relationship.
Within the Division, various clinical research projects are under way at all times. Many or our studies are funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), private foundations and institutional pilot grants. Our work has been published in leading journals and is frequently presented at national and international symposia. We also collaborate extensively with other departments in a multidisciplinary fashion.
We operate a broad portfolio of imaging research resources, augmented by imaging resources at Albert Einstein College of Medicine sites. We invite you to learn more about our dedicated imaging research laboratories:
Gruss Magnetic Resonance Research Center (MRRC) is a multimodal imaging resource located at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and internally connected to the Weiler Hospital. This core facility provides access to imaging technology and expertise for Einstein-Montefiore investigators.
The Translational Neuroimaging Laboratory is housed within the Gruss MRRC facility. The TNL-Lipton Lab focuses on the use of imaging to characterize structural and functional brain features, which mediate the relationship of environmental exposure to neurobehavioral function. Major contexts for these investigations include traumatic brain injury, aging and development.
The Dadachova Laboratory was established at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 2000. The laboratory's main focus is in targeted radionuclide therapy of cancer and infectious diseases and radiation protection materials.
The MicroPET Facility—supported by the M. Donald Blaufox Laboratory for Molecular Imaging and the NIH (1S10RR029545, "MicroPET/SPECT/CT Animal Imaging Device"), and associated with the Gruss MRRC—is designed for preclinical investigations using microPET (positron emission tomography), SPECT (single - photon emission tomography) and CT (computed tomography) examination of small animals to phenotype animal models using a wide variety of radiotracers. The goal of the facility is to provide investigators with quantitative and high-impact preclinical images.
