The University of Queensland’s Centre for Advanced Imaging is part of the Queensland Node of the National Imaging Facility (NIF).
NIF is Australia’s advanced imaging network, providing open access to flagship imaging equipment, expertise, tools, data and analysis. NIF addresses Australia’s strategic science and research priorities, and this benefits Australian industry and helps keep Australians healthy.
Overview
NIF provides a full suite of advanced imaging capability including preclinical and clinical, human and animal imaging, radiochemistry, and imaging data analysis.
NIF focuses on health and medical innovation, and also provides highly specialised capabilities for agriculture, materials science, museums and cultural applications.
The NIF network operates across nodes in major medical and innovation precincts. NIF’s national-scale network ensures Australia’s imaging investments are efficient, use best practice, are accessible to research and industry.
NIF’s mission is to make cutting-edge imaging capabilities accessible to Australian medical researchers, materials and agriculture scientists enabling them to solve challenges across research and industry.
Impact
NIF is unlocking solutions to the world’s biggest imaging challenges across commercial, clinical and research fields. NIF has helped Australians innovate in fields such as bioengineering, clinical science, biology, medical technology, pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical therapies, agriculture, materials, museums and cultural collections.
Thousands of doctors, scientists and professionals across hundreds of Australian institutions, companies and research organisations use NIF’s work to help answer their questions. NIF works with engaged volunteers and patients who make a valuable contribution to health and discovery by being part of research.
The capabilities NIF provides result in better healthcare, better products, and important discoveries.
NIF is a $300M portfolio of imaging capabilities which have received investment from the Australian Government, under National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS), state governments, and its network of 14 university, medical research institute and government science agency partners.
