Research Interest: 1) Development of novel molecular imaging tracers for in vivo visualization of different aspects of inflammation, particularly leukocyte chemotaxis; 2) Molecular imaging of inflammation in pulmonary (e.g., ARDS and lung fibrosis) and cardiovascular (e.g., atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction) diseases using positron emission tomography (PET) and CT in preclinical models.
Program 1 Research Interests
Development of novel molecular and metabolic imaging strategies for early detection and risk stratification of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases using PET and SPECT. Targeted imaging of inflammation, extra-cellular matrix remodeling, and fibrosis utilizing pre-clinical and translational approaches.
Program 2 Research Interests

Our research interest is development of novel molecular and metabolic imaging strategies for early detection and risk stratification of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases using high-resolution SPECT and PET.
