The impact that was felt by the recent shortage of medical isotopes highlighted the importance that molecular imaging and the associated probes has on the health of Canadians and on the economy of Canada. It also demonstrated that there is a need to train a new generation of scientists to advance the field and to sustain the growth of a key Canadian industry. The NSERC CREATE Molecular Imaging Probe Program (C-MIPP) is a new training program focusing on the key areas associated with the development and application of molecular imaging (MI) probes. C-MIPP will educate undergraduate and graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in health and related life sciences and technologies. The key features of this program are "focus teams", the basic research units that will work together on MI probe development across a range of scientific disciplines, and close integration with industrial partners from the pharmaceutical and biomedical sectors.
