Description
Jefferson Lab has established the Biomedical Research & Innovation Center (BRIC) to be a central hub for transitioning research and technology from nuclear and particle physics to biological and health-related fields, including: novel cancer treatments, medical imaging, environmental monitoring, plant biology, and radiation detection and therapy. Jefferson Lab researchers partner with industry, academia and healthcare organizations to identify instrumentation needs that can enhance research and patient care, or fill technology gaps. BRIC also hosts a joint NIH/DOE workshop series "Advancing Medical Care Through Discovery in the Physical Sciences" to identify key areas of mutual interest. Several innovations from Jefferson Lab researchers are in use today for cancer treatment and diagnosis, among other applications. On overview of all of the above will be presented, with some focus on the latter.
