About Us

The WCM CLC Citigroup Biomedical Imaging Center (CBIC) provides state-of-the-art imaging instruments and expertise in their applications to the Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) community and to outside investigators. Resources and services include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), X-ray computed tomography (CT), high resolution ultrasound, and optical imaging and endoscopy. The CBIC provides consultation on project design and image visualization and analysis, and offers seminars, training and educational workshops.

History 

The Citigroup Biomedical Imaging Center (CBIC) was established in 2001 with the support of Citigroup and Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM), the WCM Departments of Radiology, Psychiatry and Neurology, and NIH high-end instrumentation grant awards. In addition, major instrumentation was acquired and continues to be operated with multi-institutional support, including a medical cyclotron with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and a MRI instrument with The Rockefeller University. The CBIC became part of the WCM Core Laboratories Center (CLC) in 2015.

Location 

The main CBIC facility occupies 3 floors of the “S” building annex at 516 East 72nd Street, New York, NY. A satellite CBIC facility is located in the basement of the Belfer Research Building at 413 East 69th Street. This satellite facility is fully Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) compliant and is operated in close collaboration with the Research Animal Resource Center (RARC). View our Contact Us page for directions.

WCM Core Laboratories Center (CLC)

The WCM CLC was established in 2015. The CLC includes core facilities that offer resources and services in genomics and epigenomics, proteomics and metabolomics, flow cytometry, imaging (e.g., optical and electron microscopy, high content screening, MRI, PET/CT, and ultrasound), synthetic and analytical chemistry, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

Open to all

The resources and services of the core facility are open to all investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell University and Cornell-affiliated institutions. The facility also provides services to external investigators at both academic institutions and commercial enterprises.
