NIH Research Festival Plenary Session II - New insights through clinical imaging

The NIH intramural program has helped to pioneer the field of clinical imaging, from the earliest development of MRI technology and Louis Sokoloff ’ s now classic PET scan techniques to map and measure brain function, to recent breakthroughs such as MRI-guided closed-chest heart repair. This plenary session highlights the latest research of three NIH PIs who are extending this fine tradition of intramural-based clinical imaging advances. Shawn Chen, Ph.D. (NIBIB), will discuss nanotheranostics, the integration of diagnostic and therapeutic function in one system using the benefits of nanotechnology, which may be essential for personalized medicine. Jessica Gill, Ph.D., R.N. (NINR), will present her discoveries of mechanisms underlying differential responses to traumatic brain injury as a way to inform interventions to support recovery. And PET expert Robert Innis, M.D., Ph.D. (NIMH), will present his most recent method for imaging proteins as a biomarker for neuro-inflammation.For more information go tohttps://researchfestival.nih.gov/2016/plenary-sessionsAir date: 9/15/2016 10:00:00 AM
