Research

The mission of the Newcastle Magnetic Resonance Centre is to develop and apply novel non-invasive magnetic resonance methodology to solve important problems of human health.

Major research areas

Our investigations are centred around the major research areas within the University which include:

Brain injury research

Investigations of brain injury by magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy.

Cardiovascular Research

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance, has assumed a key role in the diagnosis, monitoring and prognostic evaluation of heart disease.

Dementia research

Research into dementia at Newcastle is led by Professor Andrew Blamire and Dr John-Paul Taylor. Find out about their ongoing research projects.

Diabetes research

Find out more about how magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging is used to explain the abnormal storage of fat and glycogen in pancreas, liver and muscle in Type 2 diabetes.

Liver research

The Newcastle Magnetic Resonance Centre offers unique non-invasive techniques for probing liver diseases.

Muscle research

Magnetic resonance provides several important tools for the investigation of human muscle, allowing assessment of structure, metabolism and function.

Neuroscience research

Functional Neuroimaging is a priority area for neuroscience and translational areas of research.

Oncology research

Newcastle University was awarded a Cancer Imaging Programme.

Respiratory research

The development of novel lung MRI technologies is providing new tools for assessment of pulmonary structure and function.
