Description of the subject Molecular imaging, in particular positron emission tomography (β+) imaging (PET), has become essential for the diagnosis of many diseases such as cancers. The rise of this non-invasive technique is linked to the obtaining of three-dimensional images, after radiotracer injection, allowing the localization and quantification of pathology-specific targets. Radiotracers are also used for the cancer treatment by targeted radionuclide radiotherapy (TRT). These radiotracers mainly combine a targeting agent, interacting with a pathology biomarker, and a radionuclide chelating … Continue reading

Intraoperative optical imaging for neurosurgery guidance As part of a recently awarded EIC Pathfinder european Grant (www.hyperprobe.eu) we are looking for a PhD student. EIC supports projects that research and develop emerging breakthrough technologies. The main goal of our project consists in transforming brain surgery by advancing functional-guided neuronavigational imaging. Intraoperative neuroimaging is developing as an indispensable means of assistance for surgical procedures. We are working on the development of innovative optical imaging methods for translational medical applications. These works … Continue reading
