ABOUT
Jefferson Lab established the Biomedical Research & Innovation Center (BRIC) as a central hub for transitioning state-of-the-art research and technology development from nuclear and particle physics to biological and health-related fields, including: novel cancer treatments, medical imaging, environmental, plant biology, and radiation detection and therapy. Our researchers partner with industry, academia and healthcare organizations to identify instrumentation needs that can enhance research and patient care, or fill technology gaps.
BRIC collaborates with private and public sector partners to develop new devices and systems based on our expert knowledge of particle accelerators and detectors. We engage with community organizations on data-driven research and advanced predictive analytics to facilitate better health outcomes. Several innovations from Jefferson Lab researchers are in use today for cancer treatment and diagnosis, among other applications. The BRIC also facilitates special events, colloquia, and workshops on various topics, including serving as host for the joint NIH/DOE series "Advancing Medical Care Through Discovery in the Physical Sciences.
