Imagining imaging's future.
Imaging specific molecules and their interactions in space and time will be essential to understand how genomes create cells, how cells constitute organisms and how errant cells cause disease. Molecular imaging must be extended and applied from nanometre to metre scales and from milliseconds to days. This quest will require input from physics, chemistry, and the genetics and biochemistry of diverse organisms with useful talents.
