Biography
My research program is focused on the development of novel molecular probes for molecular imaging using magnetic resonance. Molecular imaging is a non-invasive tool for visualization of cellular function in living organisms. For magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cellular function is imaged by injecting a contrast agent into an organism that produces quantifiable changes in the image reflecting variations in metabolic function. These compounds may be designed to bind preferentially to a specific protein or be metabolized directly by cells so that the effects of their bio-distribution can be imaged using MRI.
