Overview

Laboratory Introduction

Molecular and Translational Neuroimaging Lab

Molecular and Translational Neuroimaging Lab
Our laboratory was established to research on brain tumor diagnosis and treatment images. Among others studying intermediate imaging for overall molecular imaging and clinical application of glioblastoma. The complex microenviroment of glioblastoma is classified through molecular MR images to verify the therapeutic efficacy of anticancer drugs and to study application using biocombinant materials and equipment for glioblastoma treatment. Under the guidance of Professor Seung-hong Choi, researchers are doing experimental design, performing and MRI imaging, and collaborating with laboratories in various fields to conduct joint research.

Research topics

We are focusing on the following research topics. - A study on the radioactive characteristics according to the immune phenotype in malignant encephalomas - Development of mouse tumor model and establishment of MRI protocol for drug delivery effectiveness determination - Validate tumor treatment effect in mouse tumor models - MRI verification of macrophages and CCL2 expression and nCBV correlation in glioblastoma. - Establishing a drug delivery system to control the microenvironment.

Research goals
In future studies, we will develop new biodegradable devices for selection of candidate materials to enhance glioblastoma diagnosis and treatment. We will study techniques to efficiently activate the treatment material.
