NIH awarded a research grant to University of Wisconsin-Madison for developing PET probes to assess lung fibrosis disease activity, aiming for clinical translation and monitoring disease progression.
Description
This is a NIH research grant for developing PET probes targeting lung fibrosis. The project involves developing a novel probe (PEG-FUD) for imaging fibrotic activity. The project is supported by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI). The project aims to optimize the probe for clinical translation and monitor disease progression and response to therapy. The project duration is from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2029.
