Membership

CWRU Center for Imaging Research (CCIR) members join an integrated hub for biomedical imaging research and translation that includes experts across many disciplines in and adjacent to imaging. CCIR provides opportunities to collaborate with colleagues across Cleveland’s medical ecosystem, find funding, and advance interdisciplinary research.
