My laboratory focuses on radiotracers and molecular imaging for neurological disorders and cancer. Current research topics include:
(1) Parkinson’s disease and neurodegeneration
We explore radiotracers targeting different pathological features of Parkinson’s disease, including:
• Reactive oxygen species (ROS): F-18-ROStrace for oxidative stress imaging
• α-Synuclein: F-18-α-syn-3 for protein aggregation and Lewy pathology
(2) Tumor imaging using PARP-1 inhibitors
We investigate PARPi-based radiotracers for molecular characterization of different cancer types:
• Breast cancer: I-123/125-KX-1
• Lung cancer: F-18-FTT
Qualifications: We are seeking motivated individuals who meet the following criteria:
1. Undergraduate or graduate students in medical departments.
2. Have the interests in samll animal studies and the related biological experiments.
3. Good communication skills in English.
4. Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
