The medical research is carried out under the Directorship of Professor Lindsay W. Turnbull, and is devoted to the application of magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques to the study of cancer.
Current research projects include investigations of cancer of the breast, prostate and cervix. Previous studies have involved investigations of cancer of the brain.
MRI techniques employed include dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), diffusion-weighted MRI, functional MRI (fMRI, brain activation mapping), image textural analysis, proton spectoscopy and phosphorus spectoscopy.

Famous quotes containing the words research and/or activities:
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do—I just did it.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
