Since his departure from the Lab, Chapman has continued with his
interest in molecular imaging with FELs and in 2009 led an international collaboration to carry out the first experiments in this area at LCLS, where a global team introduced a new technique now called serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX).
The collaborative meeting program will allow you to connect directly with the profession's foremost experts on the latest topics
in Molecular Imaging in Cancer Biology and Therapy.
The study, published online in the Aug. 21, 2015, issue of Nature Communications, was led by Zheng - Rong Lu, Ph.D., CWRU M. Frank Rudy and Margaret Domiter Rudy Professor of biomedical engineering and an expert
in molecular imaging for cancer and other diseases.
«Major
innovation in molecular imaging delivers spatial and spectral info simultaneously: Combines spectroscopy with super-resolution microscopy, enabling new ways to examine cell structures.»
Because the function of many important biological factors is controlled by the UPS, this study also offers a general strategy in the design of highly - specific injectable imaging probes for monitoring aberrant activity of the UPS - regulated factors both in cultured cells and whole organisms, thus opening new
avenues in molecular imaging.
Another keynote speaker at the launch included Professor Kattesh Katti, who has been hailed as the «father of green nanotechnology» and cited as one of the 25 most influential
scientists in molecular imaging in the world.
The SNMMI Bradley - Alavi Student Fellowships are designed to stimulate students»
interest in molecular imaging / nuclear medicine by supporting their full - time participation in clinical and basic research activities for three months (or less).
