Program Overview | MiniF MIT Summer 2026
The Molecular Imaging Techniques Mini Fellowship Program is initiated to provide a practical introduction to basic science research early in the educational path and create new educational and career opportunities for students. Through weekly informal virtual lectures for 10 weeks, the program provide practical introduction to basic molecular imaging and applications, which a powerful tool in biomedical research and clinical practices to visualize, characterize, and quantify biological processes at the cellular and molecular levels in living subjects.
Program Eligibility and Structure
The program is open to any student interested in biomedical research, including cancer imaging and STEM related careers. This program is ideal for students in their:
- Junior and senior high school students
- Undergraduate or early-stage graduate students
- Students taking a gap after high school or undergraduate degree
This Mini Fellowship program is designed to include three independent modules described below, each lasting 3 weeks. This allows flexibility and choice in the program. However, certificate of participation will only be issued for those who fully attend all three modules. The selected fellows are also encouraged to participate in self-learning reading assignment on their selected molecular imaging topics of interest.
- Module 1: Introduction to molecular imaging and imaging technologies.
- Module 2: Optical luminescent imaging: cellular and preclinical applications.
- Module 3: Molecular imaging: clinical and AI/Deep Learning applications
- Module 4 (optional): Reading Assignment on selected molecular imaging topics
