Opportunities to Make a Difference

The mission of the Paragas Lab and the Radiology Optical Imaging Core is to provide open access to advanced preclinical imaging technology to the region and continue to develop break through imaging technology to accelerate the discovery of novel therapeutics and treatments. Dr. Paragas’ work focuses on the following aims.

  • Develop non-invasive imaging technology

  • Incorporate automated image analysis to the preclinical field

  • Investigate how tissue responds to injury using genetic and imaging tools

  • Identify biomarkers that predict the progression of disease

In order to advance this ambitious mission, the Paragas laboratory needs visionary partners to support the next phase of research. Your philanthropic support can help in the following ways.

Provide laboratory support                                                 $50,000 to $100,000

The Paragas Lab needs to extend its current research model to continue to illuminate new pathways in the injury response. Gifts will expand promising, multidisciplinary research that may one day lead to new drugs and assays that predict the onset of disease.

Hire a junior scientist                                                                                              $100,000

Funding is needed to hire and support the operational costs of adding a junior scientist to the team. This person will process study data and map the tissue for genes involved disease progression.

General laboratory support                                                                                   Gifts at all levels

Gifts of any amount will help advance the Paragas lab’s research.
