Biomedical imaging has emerged as one of the most important technology areas in basic bioscience and biomedical research as well as in clinical medicine and translational research. The current technologies enable detailed real-time and non-invasive visualization of molecules, structures and events in cells, tissues, and whole organisms.

Application areas include: cell and molecular biology, pharmacology, structural biology, nanotechnology and biomaterials research, patient care and diagnostics. The Master´s Degree Programme in Biomedical Imaging is a new master´s degree programme that aims to train professionals that will have a thorough understanding of diverse imaging technologies along with practical skills in a wide range of imaging methods and applications.

The programme is jointly administrated by the Department of Biosciences at Åbo Akademi University and the Medical Faculty at the University of Turku.
