Seminar: Preclinical Imaging & Radiopharmacy

Seminar picture

Preclinical molecular imaging is more and more in the focus of biomedical sciences and attracts notice by pharmaceutical companies. Modern imaging technologies such as PET, MRI, SPECT/CT and optical imaging hold a great potential to expand our current knowledge in many life science areas. Especially the prospect to obtain more detailed information in the field of oncology, neurology and immunology (e.g. detection of diseases and signal pathways) in combination with the research for new and more specific targets and biomarkers significantly pushes the field of preclinical molecular imaging and translational research.

In order to give a broader audience the possibility to learn more about the potential and the recent progress in the field of preclinical molecular and translational imaging we cordially invite students, researchers, and friends to our seminar.

We also would like to invite you to our “group progress reports” which will be held by researchers of our lab, providing an overview of their work.

We would be very pleased to welcome you in our seminar.

Internship block: Molecular Imaging in Preclincal Research (PET, CT, MR, optical imaging)

Every term the Laboratory offers a internship block with a total of 40 hours on molecular imaging in preclinical research.

The internship imparts knowledge on up-to-date methods in biomedical basic research. The main focus is on high resolution non-invasive imaging technology like positron emission tomography (PET), computer tomography (CT), magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) or optical imaging (OI) which are used for different questions in medical research. Especially functional systems like PET, MRT and OI are well-suited to show processes and parameters like gene expression, angiogenesis, glucose metabolism or cell proliferation in vivo.

Learning objectives

  • Handeling of radioactive material
  • Radio- and fluorescence labeling of cells
  • High resolution imaging technologies (PET, MRT, CT, OI)
  • Non-invasive molecular imaging in basic research
  • In vivo visualisation of functional processes (glucose metabolism, angiogenesis, etc.)
  • Visualisation of cell trafficking in vivo
  • Analysis of tomographic images
  • Fluorescence microscopy
  • Autoradiography, PCR

Participants

The internship addresses students of medicine as well as students of biology, physics, biochemistry, chemistry and computer sciences.
