The inaugural director was Dr. Sanjiv Sam Gambhir, Virginia & D.K. Ludwig Professor of Cancer Research and Chair of the Department of Radiology from 2003 to 2020.

Nearly 300 people currently work in the Program. There are twenty-seven full members, thirty-four associate members and a large number of visiting faculty & scholars, research scientists, post doctoral fellows, research associates, graduate & undergraduate students. Research The MIPS Program has five key research areas focusing on: synthesis and validation of radiolabeled and fluorescent molecular probes for molecular imaging development of molecular imaging instrumentation for living subjects development of molecular imaging approaches/assays for interrogating cellular events in living subjects development of software tools for visualization and analysis of molecular imaging data merger of therapeutics and imaging strategies for improved patient management Funding for the Program's research activities come from a mix of Federal (National Institutes of Health and Department of Energy), Foundation and University sources, as well as through a number of collaborations with Industry. Education The Program attracts graduate students from a wide range of programs including Molecular Pharmacology, Cell/Molecular Biology, Electrical Engineering, and Bio-Engineering. Small Animal Imaging Facilities The Program runs several state-of-the-art imaging facilities within the Clark small animal imaging core including digital whole body autoradiography (DWBA), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), microPET, microSPECT/CT, optical bioluminescence/fluorescence and ultrasound.
