Preclinical Development of PET and SPECT Radiotracers in Oncology
Chemistry Seminar Series - Dr James Knight, Newcastle University
Date/Time: Tuesday 6 November, 14:00 - 15:00
Venue: Bedson Building Room 2.76
Abstract
This seminar will cover several contemporary topics in the field of PET and SPECT radiotracer development, including:
- the application of bioorthogonal chemistry reactions
- pretargeted imaging strategies
- 89Zr-labelled antibody development for PET imaging
Examples of how these approaches have been applied in a variety of preclinical in vivo models will also be described.
There is special focus on early detection and monitoring therapy response in breast, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers.
