Yerkes Imaging Center

Yerkes Imaging Center, a part of the Yerkes National Non-Human Primate Research Center at Emory University, is a dynamic research organization with primary focus on: 1) the development of in-vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optical/speckle imaging technologies, and 2) the applications of these innovative imaging technologies to study anatomy, physiology and function in neurosciences with emphasis on monkey and rodent models.

The Yerkes Imaging Center also provides fee-for-service for routine anatomical, physiological, spectroscoppic and functional imaging.
For projects with non-standard or novel imaging protocols, collaborations with Yerkes Imaging Center scientists are encouraged.
