A primer on molecular biology for imagers: IX. How to become a "molecular imager"

This is the conclusion of our series of articles entitled "A Primer on Molecular Biology for Imagers," and hopefully this will serve as the beginning of many readers' journey in becoming a molecular imager. There is no real barrier to achieving stage one of development, which requires only acquisition of the knowledge base and the use of this knowledge in our practice of imaging sciences and also in our everyday life. We have made much progress in building the foundation for further development of molecular imaging and we are optimistic that many of our readers will participate in the revolution of biomedicine in the genomic era.
