Imaging Club
ICUIC
Welcome to the Imaging Club at UIC (ICUIC)!
Spearheaded by imaging enthusiasts at UIC, ICUIC will host a series of joint journal clubs discussing the latest advancement in imaging sciences and imaging-enabled biological and chemical sciences. In the fall of 2019, participating research groups from the east and west campus will meet last Thursday of the month at 3 pm. Please refer to the presentation schedule for the meeting location.
We thank Dr. Gary Mo for the design of our emblem!
Please contact Dr. Ying Hu if you would like to subscribe to the email list.
