NIH-funded research project to develop molecular MRI probes targeting liver fibrosis and inflammation to predict hepatocellular carcinoma risk and monitor treatment efficacy in animal models.
Description
This project develops molecular probes for MRI to detect total fibrosis, disease activity, and inflammation-associated fibrosis in the liver. The goal is to predict liver cancer progression and guide treatment using imaging. It involves synthesis, testing, and validation of novel molecular imaging agents in animal models.
