Congratulations to Dr. Kevin Chung on having his paper () accepted by Nature Communications! The paper focuses on imaging blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability using high-temporal resolution dynamic PET enabled by EXPLORER and through advanced kinetic modeling. This method opens new directions to efficiently study the molecular permeability of the human BBB in vivo using the large catalog of available molecular PET tracers. Many potential applications can be further developed for imaging neurological and systemic diseases.
This paper marks a significant milestone in our lab’s long-term research efforts to explore the imaging of the molecular transport properties of radiotracers.
Kevin is jointly supervised by Dr. Guobao Wang and Dr. Simon Cherry. Also thanks to all collaborators for making this work possible.
