BMP 224: Probes and Applications for Multi-modality Molecular Imaging of Living Subjects (BIOE 224, RAD 224)

Course Description

We will focus on design, development, and application of imaging agents that target specific cellular and molecular aspects of disease. Covers the strengths and limitations of different imaging agents and how to optimize their design for image-guided intra-operative procedures, brain imaging, probing infection, or interrogating tumor metabolism. Emphasis this year will be on clinical molecular imaging, state-of-the-art strategies for early detection of dementia, imaging response to cancer immunotherapy, and how 'Deep Learning' can be used for probe design and high-throughput automated image analysis.
