Brookhaven Medical Department

The Medical Department's logo combines the traditional Aesculapius insignia of a staff and serpent with an atom, symbolizing the many advances in nuclear medicine made by BNL medical researchers. BNL physicians work with chemists in the Center for Imaging & Neurosciences to explore the human brain using medical imaging techniques based on medical radioisotopes. Other research projects in the Medical Department are aimed at developing new nuclear medicine treatments and diagnostic agents, producing medical isotopes for clinical use, and understanding and treating cancer and heart disease.
