The focus of my research is the
design and synthesis of molecular imaging probes for MRI and PET. Current
projects include:
- Development of new molecular probes
for imaging fibrin; - Development
of new F-18 labeled PET tracers with
improved pharmacological properties for imaging mGluR4, which will be characterized in
preclinical models of Parkinson's disease; - Development of F-18 labeled PET ligands for imaging
mGluR2, which will be studied in preclinical models of Alzheimers disease and
schizophrenia.
